"Equity Work Is Messy": Exploring a Family and Community Partnership in One School District
Education and Urban Society, v55 n2 p201-221 Feb 2023
Focusing on family and community partnerships in schools is an important aspect to culturally responsive education, yet it is often an overlooked area. Educators must consider new models to engage community and family members to become partners in schools. This study presents finding from a mini-ethnographic case study and explores various stakeholders working as a collective to engage in culturally responsive work. In the model, group members interacted to develop curriculum proposals, professional development for teachers and community, as well as proposals for new courses. The opportunities and challenges school districts face when engaging community members in the policy and practice of schools are also discussed in this model.
