Session Submission Summary

Reimagining Family, School, and Community Partnerships as an Educational Change Strategy in the United States, Canada, and England

Sat, April 5, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 120A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium includes five papers that problematize traditional understandings of school-family-community partnerships across three national contexts by identifying different kinds of communities that advocate for educational change in ways and for purposes not often recognized in the literature. Methodologies include cross-national and ethnographic case studies, historical analysis, and survey research. Presenters will discuss how community-based organizations in Toronto and Boston use research; alliances between parent groups and teacher union organizers in England; community-university partnerships and community organizing in urban and rural schools in the U.S.; and historical parent and school district partnerships in London and Toronto that promoted race equality policies.
