BUILDING BRIDGES is an essential book for educators. Not only does Dr. Parker explain the importance of "building bridges"--establishing connections between teachers and their students--he provides very helpful and successful ways to accomplish that goal. Students come from a variety of economical and social situations, and some of these situations, with guidance and patience, can stop standing in the way of students' success in school. Anyone involved in schools--parents, teachers, administrators, board members, and the entire communities will find encouragement for our educational programs in this book.
