Build Effective School-Family Partnerships
Everyone benefits when schools and families start pulling together on the same team. Our adaptable strategy helps educators and parents communicate and partner more effectively with each other. Parents build their skills to generate key questions to support, monitor, and advocate for their kids. Schools can quickly integrate the strategy using existing staff, programs, and resources.
