This book presents research-based family-school intervention programs that target the specific developmental period of preschool through the early elementary years, focusing on promoting positive child transitions into school. It explores critical intervention issues, including the need to understand mechanisms of efficacy, issues with real-world implementation, and methods for scaling family-school interventions. The volume references developmental research to highlight the importance of family-school partnerships at this critical transition period. Several chapters briefly describe research on proven intervention models that are effective in promoting family-school partnerships as children enter kindergarten and foster positive school outcomes.

This book provides an introduction to, and analysis of, the English School’s changing and often somewhat indistinct views on International Relations as they developed from the 1950s onwards. It focuses on key thinkers and texts and turning points and moves our understanding of the English School beyond the past work of the British Committee and the more recent work of Buzan et. al. to offer a comprehensive overview and interrogation from the leading lights of this arm of International Relations thought.
