"I wish I had known what parenting was like when I started teaching." "If only families could help work toward the goals we have in the classroom." As a teacher who is also the parent to five children, Donna Maccaroni has written an exceptionally insightful book about the power of connection between home and school. Donna invites you into the chapters of this book to see how the paths of parenting and teaching not only cross but are intricately woven together. Learn how school and home can become connectors as they work together to create the safety net necessary for children to feel the security they need to explore their passions, take chances, and reach their full potential.
