Synopses & Reviews
This Collegial Study Package is planned to involve parents and staff in designing and implementing community-building schoolwide activities. The approaches that make At Home in Our Schools particularly effective focus on inclusive, non-competitive activities and building relationships, from a "Family Heritage Museum" to a "Grandpersons Gathering", from a "Schoolwide Mural" to a "Family Read-Aloud". This package may lead you to rethink some of your favorite schoolwide standbys, discover new and satisfying alternatives and additions, and provide an organizing structure for your own creative ideas.
A 136-page, best-selling Book, focused on schoolwide activities that involve students, parents, teachers, administrators, staff, and seniors in building a caring school community. It includes ideas about leadership, step-by-step guidelines for 15 activities, and reproducible planning and evaluation resources, as well as letters to send home.
