Family and Community Engagement Strategic Planning Students thrive when their families are active partners in their education, but too many educators lack the resources to equip parents with the necessary skills and strategies to fulfill this role. Our family engagement practitioners work side by side with school and district leadership teams to customize family engagement goals and action steps that welcome families into your learning community. Leadership teams can choose to focus on: • Articulating a family engagement mission and shared beliefs • Aligning organizational systems and staff to family engagement initiatives • Developing and refining a strategic family engagement plan • Coordinating with other district staff and departments that have family engagement as part of their mandate (Title I, Title IV, Early Childhood, etc.) • Creating grade-level strategies for effectively engaging families to support learning • Developing systems for measuring the impact of your family engagement • Supporting family engagement staff and family engagement action teams • Refining communication tools (written and virtual) • Creating tools and templates to assist with assessment and continuous improvement • Designing and redesigning school spaces to optimize home-school partnerships
