Fostering Family Engagement to Launch Student Success
Just as many engineers, scientists, and mathematicians must work together to launch rockets into space, families, schools, and communities need to work together to launch children’s learning. Like a team at “mission control,” families, schools, and communities need to engage with each other to plan, implement, and complete their shared mission of children’s successful learning. Regular, reliable communication and engagement by everyone involved helps learning take off, helping children to reach their goals. Authentic and effective family, school, and community engagement is about so much more than back-to-school night. It’s more than communicating with parents when there’s a problem with their child. It is even more than simply caring for a student, their well-being, and their success. Family, school, and community engagement encompasses all the ways adults interact to support children’s development, academic achievement, and long-term success. This session will give participants information about the science behind family and community engagement, what it is and why it matters, as well as some specific strategies to get started.

There was a question during the talk about family engagement programs with a Title III focus - Sherri asked colleagues, and the only one they knew was the Latino Family Literacy Project. She would also point people to the Global Family Research Project. They have a tremendous database with blogs and articles on a variety of subjects related to family engagement.
