Stakeholder Engagement: Improving Education through Multi-Level Community Relations
Tran, Henry, Ed.; Smith, Douglas A., Ed.; Buckman, David G., Ed.
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
This book focuses on the topic of the multiple-stakeholders that comprise the education community across the P-20 continuum. In various ways and forms, the authors of the chapters found within this book promote the importance of engaging with the diverse array of stakeholders in order to truly improve education in an increasingly interconnected world. The book itself is divided into two major arcs, the first of which covers community relations and stakeholder engagement in P-12 schools, while the second addresses those same issues in higher education. When one considers the activities that take place within education institutions, there is a realization that they are influenced and driven by much more than just the educators and administrators who occupy the schools. In the editors' own work, (e.g., see Tran & Bon, 2016), the importance of the inclusion of the viewpoints and inputs of multiple-stakeholders in school decisions when appropriate has been consistently argued, given that the school is considered by many to be a social and communal environment. To address these issues, in this text, this book is lucky to have a collection of peer-reviewed writing that explore various aspects of how multiple-stakeholder input can be used to improve school decisions. The following chapters are included: (1) Communicating with all Stakeholders: Utilizing Technology to Engage the School-wide Community (Denver J. Fowler); (2) The Accuracy of a Reductionist Message: A Case Study of Public Relations Involving a Michigan K-12 School Bond Referendum (Alan J. Brokaw and Thomas E. Merz); (3) The Importance of Shared Vision and Stakeholder Influence on K-12 School Leaders' Efforts to Improve Student Mathematics Achievement (Emma P. Bullock and Patricia S. Moyer-Packenham); (4) School Leaders' Reflective Blogs Inspire Systemic Change (Rita J. Hartman, Cheryl Burleigh and James Lane); (5) Resettled Muslim Parents' Perceptions of School-Community Relations (Michael Hess, Charles L. Lowery, Rowda Olad, Connor Fewell, Steven Yeager, and Tracy Kondrit); (6) Book Review: Partnering with Parents to Ask the Right Questions by Santana Luz, Dan Rothstein, and Agnes Bain (Art Stellar); (7) How Can Higher Education Engage with Rural Communities to address their Teacher Shortages? (Theresa Harrison and Henry Tran); (8) Systemic Advocacy and Collaborations: Supporting Students Emerging from Foster Care and Matriculating to College (Sarah Jones); (9) Prime Real-Estate: Branding University Syllabi (Vickie Shamp Ellis, Kaylene Barbe, Ann McNellis, and Braden East); and (10) Engaging Industry Stakeholders: A Case Study of Academic Assessment Practice at a Rural Agricultural Focused Two-Year College (Douglas A. Smith, Emily C. Fox, and Alex Jordan).
