Why It Matters
- Strong family-school partnerships lead to better outcomes for students—higher achievement, improved attendance, and greater confidence and well-being. When families are actively engaged, schools become stronger, more inclusive, and more responsive to the needs of their communities. Our technical assistance helps build the capacity of schools and organizations to make this vision a reality.
Our Goals
- Strengthen family-school partnerships by helping schools create welcoming, inclusive environments where all families feel valued.
- Build staff capacity to implement effective, research-based family engagement practices.
- Support equity and access by helping schools address barriers to family involvement across all communities.
- Improve student outcomes by increasing meaningful family participation in learning, development, and decision-making.
- Align efforts with state and federal priorities to ensure compliance and sustainability of family engagement initiatives.
