Sharing the Dream - Ideas for Engaging Schools and Communities

There are literally hundreds of ways in which to engage parents and communities in school systems.  A new publication reviews the work of those who received grants from the MetLife Foundation and the National Association of Elementary School Principals.  Ranging from descriptions of the programs themselves, the challenges they set out to confront, and some lessons learned this 60+ page PDF provides users with a good overview of what's being done in schools to engage parents and community.  Good reading for those planning next year's projects, programs, and activities for students.
