Description:
The purpose of this article is to describe an approach that early educators can use to develop meaningful partnerships with families. Specifically, we describe our efforts to support teachers in developing home–school connections through a series of Family Projects that strengthened family–child relationships and created opportunities for families to gain knowledge to support their children’s learning. We detail the context of the Family Projects, including the larger project in which this work was situated and the theoretical perspective that guided it. Furthermore, we describe the design and implementation of the Family Projects approach, including the process through which we gathered feedback from families to revise activities. (author abstract)
