As a beginning teacher educator at the University of Nevada, Reno, I know my students often feel extreme anxiety about the idea of calling students’ parents. The ideas listed here not only provide students with valuable talking points but empower them to take ownership and guide some of the more difficult communications in the right direction. My family engagement course dedicates multiple weeks to learning the craft of making effective phone calls to parents. The students were so grateful for Belle O’Neill’s expertise as a guest speaker and author because they felt both relieved and reassured to make their first phone calls home.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Caroline Hatcher, Secondary Education Field-Based Instructor, College of Education and Human Development University of Nevada, Reno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Creating Success at School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Present and Joyful Connections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Prepared with Calm Transitions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Part of the Team Benefits You \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Positive Investments Make a Meaningful Career\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 5: Proactive Leader and Creating a Positive Classroom Climate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Patience and Humor in the Classroom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2: Creating Success Outside of the Classroom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Present for You First and Then for Others \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Prepared and not Frazzled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Part of the Team and Knowing Your Colleagues Outside of School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Positive: An Identity Outside of School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Proactive Leader: Standing Up for Your Teacher Rights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Patient: Growing from Experiences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 3: Creating Success after Retiring from Teaching\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Present to the End of Your Career and Retiring on Your Terms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 14: Prepared Financially and Emotionally for Retirement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Part of a New Team and New Interests\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Positive: Retirement is an Attitude and not an Event\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Proactive Leader: Create What You Want to Happen in Retirement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Patient in Your Transition to Retirement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: The Future of Education.
