Toolkit of Resources for Engaging Families and the Community as Partners in Education Part 1: Building an understanding of family and community engagement
Exert:
The Toolkit of Resources for Engaging Families and the Community as Partners in Education
is a four-part resource that brings together research, promising practices, and useful tools
and resources to guide educators in strengthening partnerships with families and community
members to support student learning. The toolkit defines family and community engagement
as an overarching approach to support family well-being, strong parent–child relationships,
and students’ ongoing learning and development. The primary audiences for this toolkit are
administrators, teachers, teacher leaders, and trainers in diverse schools and districts. Part I is
designed to guide educators into building awareness of how their beliefs and assumptions about
family and community engagement influence their interactions with families and the community
and how knowledge about the demographic characteristics of the families in their schools can
inform educators about what might support or hinder family engagement with schools.
