Readers then learn how to build on that new cultural foundation and create the relationships that motivate family involvement, and ultimately create family engagement.

What Others Are Saying About
101 Ways to Create REAL Family Engagement
“This is a first-rate handbook, chock-full of all the advice you'll ever need to change the climate and culture at your school. Don't miss the "things to do list" at the end of each section to get you started. As always with Steve Constantino, the delivery is both wise and witty. ”
-Anne T. Henderson, Senior Consultant, Community Involvement Program,
Annenberg Institute for School Reform
“The advice and suggestions outlined in this book will resonate with educators around the world. Much of the challenge around family engagement is based on shaping the organizational culture in schools. In this timely book, Dr. Constantino has mapped a way into this issue for school leaders and has provided a comprehensive set of strategies on how they can move their schools closer to students and their families.”
-John O’Meara, Principal, Yea High School, Victoria Australia
"Family Friendly Schools opened the eyes and changed the hearts of the faculty and staff in our district. It completely transformed the way our systems operate and deliver services to all stakeholders, especially families. As a result, parents have personal relationships with their child's teacher(s), and they are active partners in their child's education. The results have been amazing! This year 96 percent of our seniors have been accepted in post secondary education."
-Steve Myers, Superintendent, Toppenish School District, WA
“Once again, Dr. Constantino has written a book packed with valuable information on the principles and strategies for engaging diverse families in their children’s education and in the life of the school. While I hope educators at all levels–superintendents, principals, teachers and support staff–read this book, I also hope those studying or about to enter the education profession read it as well. You will use this book time and again as a guide and resource to engaging families in your school community.”
-Sue Ferguson, Chair, National Coalition for Parent Involvement in Education
