Beyond the Classroom Walls: The Rediscovery of the Family and Community as Partners in Education.
Cairney, Trevor H.
Educational Review, v52 n2 p163-74 Jun 2000

This requires understanding of sociocultural influences on school success. Educational practices that understand the complexity of these issues can help create genuine home-school partnerships.
