Family and Community Engagement

Family Engagement Assessment

The Family Engagement Assessment (FEA) is a process that measures a school’s capacity for developing effective home-school partnerships and recommends solutions for enriching and prioritizing family engagement practices. A family engagement specialist will conduct an on-site or virtual visit, technology review, document review, and shopper phone call. In addition, stakeholder surveys are distributed to families, teaching staff, and administration via an online survey platform. The FEA process integrates this data to produce a comprehensive written report that includes: • A thorough assessment of family engagement practices including strengths and opportunities for growth • Visual images of the physical environment, website, social media, and documents that illustrate barriers to engagement as well as positive examples of engagement efforts that should be promoted or built upon • Quantitative data that schools can use to measure improvement over time • Recommendations for growth in each of the four goal areas (Welcoming, Communication, Information, and Engagement) By exploring key data and existing activities and positions in collaboration with our specialists, school leaders can design a plan to strengthen and coordinate family and community engagement initiatives.
