Shifting Mindsets: What's Family Got To Do With It
Description:
Historically, schools have defined and designed engagement efforts for families based on the schools needs and goals for parent involvement, with outcomes hyperfocused on attendance to events and responsiveness to school lead/ directed engagement. What if this is all wrong... what if we need to shift our thinking to revolve around what parents and students need for successful academic and life outcomes. Come to this session and explore another paradigm for engaging schools with families.
