how schools can overcome the barriers of family engagement and inspire

Family engagement in a child’s education is critical to their development and future success. Regardless of background and income, children with engaged families are more likely to have better attendance, earn overall higher student achievement, develop better social skills, have better behavior, and are more likely to graduate... As a school administrator who worked at various schools, all of which were drastically different from one another, I saw time and again the unique forms and levels of family engagement with one commonality:... Contrary to common stereotypes and assumptions, my experience was further evidence that family engagement most closely reflects a campus climate and culture. I learned to never assume to know or understand the complexities and burdens present in the individuals’ lives that I encountered. It is my belief that almost all parents are doing the best they know how to do.

Granted, this looks very different based on their personal history, but it is still their personal best, individual capacity, given their current circumstances. More importantly, what makes a school a haven and community support for families? Family engagement with schools should not be a burden or responsibility; it should be an exciting partnership that benefits both parties. Family engagement is a partnership between families and the school created through mutual trust and respect in the shared effort to benefit the students. A few important points to note: families all look different and contain different key members, meaning that schools should welcome and embrace these differences knowing our students’ lives are all unique. Also, the benefit is to the student, as opposed to the school and educators.

Family engagement is important because of the positive impact created for a child as a result. The definition of engagement is far more comprehensive than is commonly recognized, so let’s take a look at the different areas: By creating ways for families to feel welcome and included, educators can strengthen the relationship between home and school. For decades, research has affirmed that engaging families is one of the five keys to transforming schools and districts from good to great schools. Strengthening partnerships is an essential component to effective teaching, propelling student growth, and school improvement. In turn, families need staff to create spaces for them to learn about the inner workings of the school, as well as have opportunities to share their experiences, insights, and questions.

Parents and caregivers want to be involved and to find easy pathways to feeling connected to their child’s school. As I explore in my book, On the Same Team: Bringing Educators and Underrepresented Families Together, forming a diverse team of families and educators dedicated to creating more inclusive and culturally responsive approaches is... Here are five overarching ways that you and your school can strengthen your partnerships with families. We educators often say we “communicate regularly” with families. But are we communicating on their terms or ours? In our language or theirs?

Is communication a one-way street, or are we fostering ongoing two-way communication? To be culturally responsive in building bridges to families, we have learned that some ways of communicating are better than others. We educators are often eager for families to learn about the education system. We offer them “orientations,” “handbooks,” and “newsletters.” But do we work equally hard to learn about them? Here are a few key ways that we can show through both our words and actions that we truly value diversity and respect our students’ lives beyond the walls of the classroom. Many schools and districts have been working to ensure that family engagement is more equitable as part of school improvement efforts.

This resource outlines guidance and provides real-world examples across five major categories of evidence-based, equitable family engagement strategies Many schools and districts have been working to ensure that family engagement is more equitable as part of school improvement efforts. Though there is a strong body of research on equitable family engagement strategies, many schools and districts still need information about how schools equitably engage families in practice. This resource outlines guidance and provides real-world examples across five major categories of evidence-based, equitable family engagement strategies: Choosing a Communication Platform for School-Home Engagement: A Buyer’s Guide Choosing a Communication Platform for School-Home Engagement: A Buyer’s Guide

Choosing a Communication Platform for School-Home Engagement: A Buyer’s Guide Family engagement in schools is a two-way collaborative process between families and schools that begins in early childhood education and continues through high school. In today’s fast-paced world, fostering strong partnerships between schools and families is crucial for the holistic development and academic success of students. When families actively engage in a child’s education, it creates a powerful support network that enhances the overall educational experience. In fact, family engagement is one of the best predictors of student success. Let’s begin by identifying some common barriers that may be preventing your school families from truly being involved in their child’s education.

Then we will provide multiple strategies you can implement to achieve family engagement success. Being transparent about students’ academic performance is one way schools can build trust and connections with parents, says nonprofit Learning Heroes. Clear family-school communications and robust supports for students with learning differences are just a few ways education systems can improve family-school connections to support student outcomes, nonprofit Learning Heroes said in a report released... One of the biggest barriers to family-school partnerships is what the report calls a "perception gap," or when families believe their child is performing at higher academic levels than what's really occurring. In fact, about 88% of parents in a 2023 survey said they thought their child was at or above grade level in math and reading. In reality, the actual share of children performing at this level is closer to 30%, as shown by 8th grade performance on the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Although parents carry significant influence over their child's education, they can't help fix a problem they don't know exists, the report said. An effective family engagement program cultivates strong family-school partnerships. ParentPowered explores six key principles guiding their success. Newcomers may join a school community at any point during the calendar year. ParentPowered shares 11 seasonally-aligned strategies to help these families transition successfully. Building relationships with families in early childhood education includes uplifting caregivers’ voices.

ParentPowered and NHSA share best practices for inviting parents as partners to program strategy and decision-making. About 50 years of research has revealed the striking benefits of schools actively partnering with families to improve their children’s learning. For some educators though, it was not until COVID-19 blew the doors off their schools and the walls off their classrooms that the penny dropped, as Sonja Santelises, CEO the Baltimore public schools and... “During the pandemic, educators realized that families knew a lot more about teaching and learning than they had given them credit for,” especially when it came to understanding the needs of their own children,... She recently shared some of Santelises’ insights and many of her own during a virtual event about effective family and community engagement, hosted by the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s EdRedesign Lab. “Now, a lot of educators want to know more about how to engage families because of the lessons that they learned during COVID,” Mapp added.

Mapp, a renowned family engagement specialist who said she has encountered a fair share of resistance to her ideas over the years, makes a strong case for them in the new book Everyone Wins! The Evidence for Family-School Partnerships & Implications for Practice. She and co-authors Anne Henderson, Stephany Cuevas, Martha Franco, and Suzanna Ewert dive into the latest research and drill down on the same question that senior citizen Clara Peller asked in the infamous 1984... As the title of Mapp’s book suggests, the answer is everyone: "This is love-work, [you must] love fully the families and the children and communities you serve." �JNw���ho��6V��w�b�(��Ս�%s�x{���.4�c�� �(�@ Q�[�lJ����)����C�`��T�V�t�7tv�b�s6o�uK�����V�H>�)uw�B����|Ň��r ��a����!>��?��ht����m�!ac���A�n�~���*E0s�$����6�6���F�_�G�E���]<�Ҁ�J�V��2�c�;T�zb��A��N�Ot�Ύu��{�9r�_��9 2��[���� �u�t��C��^b,�u���� �s�yt��S�2�nH�K�rn�2�2q����/�����8�0̉��C��%�F���B{� ��EU*J�^���J��`���>�L>o)����JmX�s��2H��ŵ��M'���8�o#�FH� �Vy�Ԛ�i�P�������J��o۞V1���pPj���ec�S͛t��� �[����+�(�t��~53H���%9�� �mj8N(���+��ڒ�u��f0_J�5hژ�gh���1��:H����F���nO�����]�/�۾�곖o��F�]�Xb���=�]pPGd���C��+�~�Xl���Y|�"^؟���0��BO"%��(�����A� �LT�R��"� ���byotq��I]�IW�rLym3k�V~;>?{�bE=۔t�z*�<��m�� I��`�3���;�.*�]��t#�v�m�C*f�+ϯ`~wy���׌sPI����J�b���p$���})O�;����jPb�3'>��[=n�� *��4WB�E�~�an� �e"�u�&�������@cn*.(}�{ �|�{�i}�[���w�O��t�wm����.���� �%� Z̧��l����|:�_�4<�"G��.,���Ew�G��������qP�5��ٶ�q�S;E��gD�&�ZZ�u=�H�֣!�'��t�K ��r޿����ÕHOb)����)�Kk�!,c�3 ���Ê��Q�ս���]�K�Qe�t���p� ��Zk�PY��1�9J�]�Oj7��j„�&)�� � u�.��z�BПI�D"C&�H����E}�4p���EM���\:Tg����+t��7�j��R˞.���jhJ�VT�[yr��th߼�n�,r�*y2~bը�Z N��А��hҶ� `|�w��e�7"hJ}(y���������d���\���H��MIi��y���5��NZS��h�5�Ī����*Y*���L.�ݶ�қ ���H�H���9���~i�#�-���M�H��>)}���F��g�5���5c$l�7���7 ΍��O_�4�ϣK=�����ƫ>���8���a��&�A��o�Z�id3�-R�7zgns����o��� l22�+ :YU*k���ۅ��к�pB�]���=%C�݀Uj�����w�Y��J���a���4�e�ȹ��Y�����9������,���-鲲݅QK�����e#�,����m_������P��-���ZW�QT�5�1Y����v |��V��G��`���)1V����+�p� ��6~X����'&�qMg1��C����~h����5�"�\�z� �t��K�u�ca�5.��@��S�:R������j���s������9,'}���$���&��>~�kf�[sK��읬d���b��ŋ��S���[�C�Jk ���΃������sY�g�ӊ���ׅў���J>tK�Z�E�q‡C�tW��3ɔb,�A#&g:...
