IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY ENGAGEMENT

• When families and the institutions where children learn partner in meaningful ways, children:
• have more positive attitudes toward school • stay in school longer • have better attendance • experience more school success

OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
In order to establish and foster sustained, trusting relationships it is important to:
Always provide information within the context of why family engagement is important for the child and how it will help him/her. Identify and address needs of the school, the
students, and the families. Think of engagement as an opportunity to build
relationships and partnerships, not an isolated event. Listen to parents and families and incorporate
feedback.

WHY ARE YOU INCLUDING FAMILIES?
Clarify your goals What are you trying to accomplish? Who would benefit most from the proposed activity or is most
impacted by the proposed policy? Are there any racial/economic disparities being addressed?
Identify and engage stakeholders – What families should be involved? Why would they want to
be involved? – Reach out to diverse groups – Consider community demographics – race, economics,
language, neighborhood – Go outside of the normal participants
