Research has shown that families and schools that partner together improve literacy outcomes for their students. Family literacy includes homework and shared book reading but goes beyond these school-to-home activities to encompass family-generated practices. These literacies include family connections around activities such as cooking, play, religion, social, and community groups. Further study on the importance of the partnership between the home and school is required to implement best practices and provide students with the best possible education. The Handbook of Research on Family Literacy Practices and Home-School Connections seeks to understand the connections made and new information learned during the COVID-19 pandemic surrounding family literacy and shares updated practices and new perspectives on what it means to partner with families and embrace diverse family literacies in this new world. The book also provides teachers’ perspectives on how future relationships between the school and home can be shaped through both narrative and research-based chapters. Covering key topics such as parenting, homework, and social distancing, this major reference work is ideal for administrators, school faculty, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

La desigualdad estructural que caracteriza a los países de América Latina se agudizó en el contexto de la crisis sociosanitaria producida por el Covid-19 y dejó al descubierto, una vez más que son los pueblos indígenas los que alcanzan los mayores índices de pobreza y exclusión. Asimismo, la transición de una educación presencial a una virtual, con las inequidades de conectividad implicadas, significó un proceso crítico para las poblaciones indígenas del continente. Esto afectó al sistema educativo en general, y la educación superior no quedó al margen. Este libro es el resultado de una investigación realizada por la Red de Interculturalidad de las Instituciones Salesianas de Educación Superior (IUS) y fue desarrollada por tres universidades salesianas de Brasil, Chile y Ecuador. Se indagó el impacto del Covid-19 en estudiantes indígenas y la forma en que, tanto estudiantes como las respectivas instituciones, respondieron a la crisis sociosanitaria. A través de información, estadística, grupos focales, entrevistas y recuperación documental se da cuenta de los esfuerzos realizados para superar las inequidades que agudizó la pandemia. Los resultados también orientan los futuros desafíos que deberán enfrentar las instituciones de educación superior que tienen como opción la atención a los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas.

This book is a timely insight into the internationalization of higher education institutions. The internationalization of higher education is a global phenomenon, but with substantial variation in how it is made operational in individual institutions. Comprehensive Internationalization focuses on desirable practices in institutions and their actual approaches to implement a more integrated, strategic, or comprehensive global engagement across their core missions: teaching, research, and service. Part I of the book investigates a wide range of issues governing the internationalization of institutions: Outlining the origins, meaning and evolution toward more strategic and comprehensive forms of internationalization; building an understanding of the meanings of comprehensive internationalization, as well as common aspirations, when linked to different types of institutions; understanding the rationales and motivations for internationalization and intended results; creating an institutional vision and culture to support comprehensive internationalization; and implementing key strategies for successful internationalization in terms of practical actions and programs and results, including identifying and ameliorating barriers, engaging organizational change, assessing outcomes, and obtaining resources. Part II of the book offers case stories from institutions across the globe which describe varying pathways toward more comprehensive internationalization. Institutions were chosen to reflect the diversity of higher education and approaches to internationalization. An analysis of the cases uncovers similarities and differences, as well as common lessons to be learned. With contributions from mainland Europe, Australia, the USA, the UK, Latin America, Singapore and South Africa, the global application of the book is unparalleled. Comprehensive Internationalization will be of vital interest to a wide variety of higher education institutional leaders and managers as they address the problems and solutions for institutional internationalization available to them in a rapidly changing educational world and a 21st Century global environment.
