Family engagement/involvement has a significant correlation to student achievement. For that reason, it has been incorporated into this class. During each section, you will be asked to explore the SD SFEC Website for ideas and possible resources you can share with families. (You might take on-going notes to keep track of your ideas.)
At the end of the course, as a part of your final, you will submit an outline detailing what you have found. Conclude this lesson by exploring the website at sdsfec.org
