Book Update
October 20th, 2009 by Larry FerlazzoBuilding Parent Engagement In Schools, my first book (written with Lorie Hammond), was published earlier this month. You can learn how readers of this blog can get a discount by reading this.
You can read two “previews” of the book:
One is an article I wrote for Public School Insights in April titled Parent Involvement or Parent Engagement?
The other is one I wrote for the Library Media Connection. It was published last month and is titled Family Literacy, English Language Learners, and Parent Engagement.
You can read the first review of the book at The Tempered Radical by Educational Leadership columnist Bill Ferriter.
In September, Joyce Epstein and I were guests at Education Week’s “edchat” on engaging parents. If you’re interested, you can read the chat transcript.
I was interviewed on the Parents as Partners webcast a few weeks ago, and you can read about about the conversation at Irritate or agitate – what’s your parent engagement like? You can also listen to the webcast at the EdTechTalk site.
