Fostering a Systematic Approach for Family Engagement
Presented by Kasey Brown and Susan Stanton of ACTNow
Families play a crucial and unique role in a child’s academic, social-emotional, and behavioral development and the establishment of effective family engagement strategies ensures that families have the skills and resources necessary to support and advocate for their children. The evaluation of these family engagement strategies, programming, and efforts is necessary to continuously improve and expand upon these practices. During this training, we work to understand the varying types of family engagement data, collection methods, and the components of a successful family engagement system. Participants are provided with the opportunity to develop an ‘Action Plan’ that includes action items and potential methods of delivery for their respective organizations' family engagement system.
