Synopsis

Accessible and practical, School-Community Relations, Fourth Edition uses real-life examples to illustrate the ways in which administrators and school leaders can effectively engage and enlist partnerships with teachers, staff, students, parents, and community members. Case studies at the end of each chapter apply the strategies to realistic scenarios, and Questions for Analysis help readers engage critically with the material. This textbook provides aspiring educational leaders with the skills to establish strong systems for communicating with their various school constituencies and to improve public relations at all levels.

Review:

"As a professor who has taught community relations for 15 years, I can shout: WHAT A GREAT TEXTBOOK! This is the best community relations textbook there is. When I thought it couldn’t get any better, here comes the fourth edition, which leaps into current issues and challenges. I particularly enjoyed the insights on social and electronic media. This book perfectly balances theory and practice and gives students real-life scenarios to demonstrate how to apply theory to practice."

--Sandi Estep, Professor of Educational Administration, Governors State University, USA

I have used all three editions of this text and will choose the fourth as well. This text continues to meet the needs of school-community relations courses."
