Only Swick's Book Is Better.

This book has everything from parent involvement to parent teacher conferencing to the very best history of parent education/involvement that I have EVER seen. If you can't find any book by Kevin Swick, then get this one. Heck! Get 'em both! You can never do with enough ways to get parents involved with children during the early years.

A great step toward solid partnerships!

This book is comprehensive and easy to follow. It is useful for understanding the various perspectives of both teachers and families. I think it is essential for new teachers, as well as those who may feel the need to prioritize and start putting families and communication first! [...]
