Today, Robyn, Ray and I have spent time setting up the blog so that we can record and share all our adventures as "Researchers". We have begun our literature search into "School, Family and Community Partnerships" by looking at some articles.
We are setting up meetings and school visits in the States with "IMPORTANT" people. We have been in contact with Professor Joyce Epstein - John Hopkins Univerity, Baltimore; Heather Weiss - Director of Harvard Family Research Project and Sharon Kuznick - Principal of Roberts Elementary School in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Our Research questions are:
· What impact do school, family and community partnerships have on student learning outcomes?
· What are the underlying elements that make partnerships effective?
· How do you build trust and respectful relationships between teachers and parents so that teachers will embrace community partnerships?
· What kinds of partnership / engagement are most influential on student learning outcomes and how to make that happen?
