School leaders are increasingly called upon to pursue meaningful partnerships with families and community groups, yet many leaders are unprepared to meet the challenges of family and community partnerships, to cross cultural boundaries, or to be accountable to the community. This book brings together research perspectives that intersect the fields of leadership and partnerships to inform and inspire new approaches that strive toward more authentic collaboration.
