Review\n“Everyone Wins! offers good news to educators and reinforces what we already know. When we engage families in their children’s education, we gain valuable information to help motivate students and give educators the tools to reach all students right where they are. That’s not just what educators are trained to do; it’s what they love to do. When schools embrace their families and community, they become welcoming and nurturing environments for everyone to learn and work.” 
—BECKY PRINGLE, President, National Education Association\n“Educating students to their full potential requires active partnerships with families and communities. In this highly readable, indispensable book, the authors provide a guide for education leaders to leverage evidence, craft transformative policies, and promote high-impact practices that make a difference for all students, educators, and families.” 
—CHARLENE M. RUSSELL-TUCKER, Commissioner of Education, Connecticut State Department of Education\n“The evidence is clear, and the authors’ analysis of it is excellent. Scores of studies across grade levels show that well-designed and well-implemented partnership programs create more welcoming schools, collaborative teachers, confident parents, and—most important—successful students. It is time to implement strong and sustainable partnership programs in all schools, with all families, for the success of all students.” 
—JOYCE L. EPSTEIN, Professor of Education and Director, National Network of Partnership Schools, Johns Hopkins University\n“I’m so excited to endorse this omnibus ignitor that will spark effective partnerships to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed! I have seen so many failed attempts to ride, what we refer to as, the family engagement rollercoaster. Everyone Wins! shows how important we all are to the success of all children and is what parent advocates have been seeking for a very long time!” 
—ROSAZLIA GRILLIER, President Emeritus, COFI/Power PAC-IL\n“Everyone Wins! is the guide to moving schools towards equity and justice through powerful forms of family and community engagement. It features the most up-to-date research, a critically minded perspective, and powerful stories of building equitable partnerships, all in accessible language and with practical advice. Get this book, read it, and use it!” 
— MARK WARREN, Professor of Public Policy and Public Affairs, University of Massachusetts, Boston\n“This outstanding resource builds upon the evidence that when families are empowered as true partners in their children’s education, students thrive, schools become stronger, and the whole community benefits. It is an essential guide for anyone who has a stake in student success, challenging us to build equitable family engagement practices.” 
— AMBIKA KAPUR, Program Officer, National Program, Carnegie Corporation of New York 
“Everyone Wins! effectively summarizes the evidence, documenting what’s at stake for everyone, regardless of role. At a time when implementing evidence-based practices in a variety of contexts is critical, this book is an important resource for educators and all who value strong family-school-community partnerships.” 
— S. KWESI ROLLINS, Vice President for Leadership & Engagement, Institute for Educational Leadership\n“This timely volume offers indispensable syntheses and guidance from the expansive research on family engagement. Educators and families at all levels will find crucial ways forward for partnering to support learning and foster the equitable education our children and youth deserve.” 
— ANN ISHIMARU, Associate Professor of Education, University of Washington\n“Mapp and Henderson (and colleagues) have done it again. They present a compelling case for family-school partnerships by examining benefits to students, families, educators, and schools. A sharp focus on equity and a plethora of practical guidance make Everyone Wins! a seminal must-read for all who care about student success.”

In the months following his resignation as prime minister of Australia in late August 1941, Robert Menzies swayed between relief at his release from the burdens of office and despair that his life at the top had come to so little. Many followers of Australian political history, including Liberal Party supporters, forget that Menzies had many years in the political wilderness not knowing he would end up being Australia’s longest-serving prime minister. This book focuses on the period between 1941, when Menzies lost the prime ministership, and 1949, when he regained it. In the interim he traveled around the world, spending an extended time in Britain during World War II, set up the Liberal Party and, the author argues, developed the leadership qualities that made him so successful.

Mathematics

The aim of this book is to offer some help to teachers who are not very confident of their own understanding of mathematics, but want to give some basic help to dyslexics and others in the particular areas needed by them. To that end the chapters give separate topics with clear explanations for the teacher of the content to be taught, suggestions about how to teach it, exercises with answers, and in the Appendix a list of helpful materials and software. Teachers can pick out a topic without necessarily following the order in the book.
