The School Community Journal, a free academic journal that’s available online, has just published its Spring/Summer 2009 issue (it’s a PDF download).
Two articles that look particularly intriguing are:
“Walking the Walk: Portraits in Leadership for Family Engagement in Urban Schools” by Susan Auerbach
“An Urban School District’s Parent Involvement: A Study of Teachers’ and Administrators’ Beliefs and Practices” by Natalie Conrad Barnyak and Tracy A. McNelly
You can review past issues at their site, too.
