DEFINING FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
DEFINITION OF FAMILY ENGAGEMENT Family engagement is: • A shared responsibility in which schools and
other community agencies and organizations are committed to engaging families in meaningful and culturally respectful ways, and families are committed to actively supporting their children’s learning and development.
• Continuous across a child’s life, spanning from Early Head Start programs to college preparation high schools.
• Carried out everywhere that children learn – at home, in pre-kindergarten programs, in school, in after-school programs, in faith-based institutions, and in community programs and activities.
WHAT THE LITERATURE TELLS US ABOUT PARENT & FAMILY
ENGAGEMENT Studies of families show that what the family
does with children is more important to student success than family income or the education level of the parents.
Both students and schools benefit from active participation by families in the process of education children.
Parent involvement is more than good attendance at school-sponsored events or having a strong volunteer program
The need for strong family involvement starts by the time children are in preschool and continues through high school.

What can make family engagement feel so exhausting?!?!?
“Strong leadership by principals, teachers, and parent and community leaders”…”have learned that well-executed partnership goes hand in hand with school improvement, whether prompted by their own desire to create a better school or in the process of effectively implementing state educational reform efforts and federal programs including NCLB.” Beyond the Bake Sale: The Essential Guide to Family Partnership
Core Belief #1: All parents have dreams for their children and want the best for them
Core Belief #2: All parents have the capacity to support their child’s learning
Core Belief #3: Parents and school staff should be equal partners
Core Belief #4: The responsibility for building partnerships between school and home rests primarily with school staff, especially school leaders
Successful Partnerships Begin With Positive Beliefs about Families

“ATTENDANCE” EXAMPLE
Parenting: “Attendance Summit” for parents on the importance of student attendance. Speakers may include school administrators, counselors, legal experts, teachers, health service provider, students and family members
Communicating: Recognition post-cards for good or improved attendance
Volunteering: Family volunteers as attendance monitors; Family members handing out PBIS tickets for kids making it to school
Learning at Home: Interactive homework for students and family partners to create poster as to why good attendance is important
Decision Making: PTA/PTO communications, translated as needed, for all families on requirements for student attendance and on-time arrival, and steps to take when students return to school after illness
Collaborating with Community: Agreement with local businesses to post signs that students are welcome only during non school hours.
