Book excerpt: "Family engagement with schools is known to be key to student achievement, but such involvement can be a challenge in economically disadvantaged schools-precisely the schools that need it the most. In The Community Connection, Nathaniel Provencio guides readers to building this vital engagement by broadening a school's professional learning community (PLC) to include parents, families, and other community members in a productive collaboration towards success for all students. Drawing on his own experience as a principal who used the PLC process to transform a struggling school into an award-winning school, Provencio demonstrates step by step how the focus on learning, collaboration, and results at the heart of the PLC process can be used not merely to enhance family engagement, but to create a collaborative culture in which all stakeholders become educators. With an emphasis on transparency, mutual trust, and clarity on the school's vision and mission, The Community Connection provides readers with a roadmap to a culture of shared and ongoing betterment both within the school walls and in the community at large"--
