It can be a challenge to connect with families and provide them with the necessary tools & resources to engage in school activities. We've shared the 3 R's that we find are the foundation to encouraging family engagement:
1RelationshipsSchools must create strong and productive relationships built on trust to make families feel comfortable with engaging. |
2ResourcesSchools should make it easy for families to engage by providing take-home resources for them to support their child's learning. This will help families boost their child's academic achievement and success. |
3RespectSchools must show families that they value them as equal partners in their child's education and that they respect the parent as the child's first and most influential teacher. |
