The Essential Conversation : What Parents and Teachers Can Learn from Each Other > Customer Review #1:
Essential to any teacher

I bought this because because every teacher needs some help working alongside parents. I have yet to have a class (undergraduate/graduate) where we have been taught how to collaborate with parents. This is not a list of what to and what to not do with parents. Instead, this book shares many personal accounts of both teachers and parents.

As I work toward my doctoral degree, I will remember this book as a text in my teacher-training classes.



The Essential Conversation : What Parents and Teachers Can Learn from Each Other > Customer Review #2:
A truly engaging book.

This is certainly a "must-read" for both parents and teachers alike, in order to align their performance desires and expectations. This book paves the way for dialogue that is needed between parents and teachers.
