This Handbook makes explicit this under-stated factor in the learning equation. Activating the power of families has the potential to transform the educational experience of every learner … and the effectiveness of every teacher. This book is the first of its kind, providing insights, frameworks, tools and intentional strategies from leaders of the field world-wide to catalyze the impact of families in the education ecosystem. It is timely and profound.’</i>

The Handbook on Families and Education is an important compendium of both theoretical and real-world studies, shedding light on various interdisciplinary perspectives covering sociology, linguistics, economics, and public policy. Both historical and contemporary research models, including integrative models, the Actiotope Model, and the Peripheral Model, are utilized to highlight the truly central role of the family in learning processes, and to ultimately encourage readers to finalize their own educational theories.
Scholars and students of sociology, education policy, teaching, and early childhood education will find this Handbook to be of great interest. Educators will additionally benefit from its practical insights.
