In reviewing Sanders' 2005 Building School-Community Partnerships (reprinted in 2015), Soo Hong, writing in the Harvard Educational Review, said educators would find her work "a refreshing change." Hong notes that Sanders "makes two important distinctions as she lays the groundwork for her book: that community is not constrained by the geographical boundaries of neighborhoods, and that — a part of community involvement — is not the focus of her book" and that the book challenges educators to work in ways that "move beyond a mere focus on parental involvement" and offers multiple concrete actionable ways to do so.[4]
