With Diverse Families, Competent Families, you'll explore:

  • ways that men can make the most of their experience as fathers

  • the relationship between parents’perceptions of teacher behavior and how willing they are to become involved at school

  • the ways in which changes or disruptions in a family's functioning can influence their children's academic skills
