(Mis)Understanding families

A resource to help educators identify, address, and meet the needs of the diverse families in today's classrooms. Examines how families are represented in the media, schools, and other institutions and applies that information to building effective home-school partnerships. Examines how different relationships between families and teachers are defined by discourses that circulate through formal and informal curricula. Explores how families and educators can collectively reconceptualize these conversations to create positive educational experiences for children. From publisher description.
