"Teachers have a responsibility to know something about the community or neighborhood surrounding the program they are involved in," asserts John Nimmo in Inspiring Practices for Partnering with Families Turn-Key video.

"It is not learning what one adult believes is the right model for a lifestyle but what our society has to embrace as being best and making sure there is a place for all children whatever their backgrounds, whatever their family structure, and whatever the community life they are coming from," shares Elanna Yalow in the same video.
