One-Sentence Summary: Schools need to think beyond the classroom, to the community and parents as co-teachers in eduction.

Key Quote: "We have come to think of both the content and process of exchange of funds of knowledge as enormously useful in // mediating // instruction. Our claim is that by developing social networks that connect to outside resources, by mobilizing funds of knowledge, we can transform classrooms into more advanced contexts for teaching and learning." (p. 344)

 Point to Remember: Funds of knowledge must be accessed in order for deeper and more significant learning to take place. This could take the form of parents, local business/government entities, and online collaboration.
