Family, School, Community Engagement and Partnerships

With research proving that children perform better academically and socially when their families are involved in their education, there is a need for teacher and administrator preparation programs to include theory and best practices on how to get families involved. The hope is that Colleges and Schools of Education will develop and create focused and comprehensive family, school and community engagement curricula, programs and partnerships, which will be seamless across all educational preparation programs.
