The Research on Family-School Partnerships series carries forward work on the state-of-the-science in and critical needs of family-school partnerships research that began during the interdisciplinary conference held in Omaha, Nebraska, in September 2010. The overall objective of the book series is to set forth futuristic thinking and articulate significant directions in the area of family-school partnerships research. Each volume in the series provides analysis of the most current research by leading experts in their respective fields. Rather than merely re-presenting “state of the field” or what is already known about family-school collaboration, the primary objective of each volume is to articulate future issues, raise questions, and channel research needs and directions.
