Partnering with Parents to Ask the Right Questions
How can we make it easier for schools and families to work together on behalf of all students? It all begins by tapping into the different strengths educators and parents and caregivers can contribute to building a strong partnership. Partnering with Parents to Ask the Right Questions, by Luz Santana, Dan Rothstein, and Agnes Bain of the Right Question Institute, presents a deceptively simple strategy for how educators can build effective partnerships with parents—especially those who typically have not been actively involved in their children's schooling. It distills complex, important ideas on effective civic participation into an easy-to-learn process that teaches parents two fundamental skills they can use to support the education of their children, monitor their progress, and advocate for them: asking better questions and participating effectively in key decisions. Based on more than two decades of work and research in a wide range of low- and moderate-income communities, this book empowers overburdened and under-resourced educators and parents to work together and achieve their common goal of successful students. This indispensable guide includes case studies spanning K–12 classrooms, and it explores ways to assist struggling students, collaborate on IEPs, and communicate with families of English language learners. The accessible and easy-to-use format, field-tested advice, and vivid examples from schools that put the advice into practice make this a must-have for everyone from the classroom to the central office.

Transgender Families
Author: Dr. Diana Sorrentino

Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
Release Date: 2024-11-14
This book has been developed specifically for parents, partners, and the family members of a transgender loved one to validate their emotional experiences and the challenges they and their loved one will be facing. They will also require reliable information, access to educational resources, and the emotional support they will need to address and manage the challenges they will be presented with. Why is this book important? This book is important because parents and family members will become unsuspecting participants in a transgender family member's journey of exploration and growth without warning, knowledge, or even the slightest understanding of what it means for an individual to be gender diverse or transgender. That lack of knowledge, or any level of understanding, will present the parents, family, or partner with emotional distress, anxiety, duress, interpersonal conflicts, familial complexities, societal and cultural challenges they are ill-prepared to deal with. Chaos, fear, anger, hostility, volatility, and the rejection of the individual has typically been experienced. Transgender Families, helping parents and families understanding gender diversity and being transgender, is an essential read for these families because: no one transitions alone.
