Transforming Parent-School Relationships

How might we create stronger engagement with families for the benefit and support of our students?

The relationship between a school and the community of parents it serves can be complicated. Many differing beliefs play into events and decisions, bringing significant challenge to a school community.

As many parents and families have become newly engaged with education, we've brought together Design Teams comprised of parents, teachers and administrators to identify, share and take small steps towards promising new strategies to build stronger family-school partnerships.

SHOWCASE

Reflect + celebrate playfully the deep work we've done!
