  2. Why Family Engagement?

  3. A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family and Community Connections on Student Achievement (Henderson & Mapp, 2002) • Reviewed hundreds of studies which overwhelmingly indicated that high quality family engagement programs improve and support student achievement. • The most effective teachers and schools are those with strong family engagement programs.

  4. A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family and Community Connections on Student Achievement (Henderson & Mapp, 2002) • Students whose families are engaged in their education in some way • Earn higher grades and test scores • Are less likely to be retained a grade • Are more apt to have an accurate diagnosis for educational placement in classes • Attend school regularly • Like school and adapt well to it • Have better social skills • Have fewer negative behavior reports, and • Graduate and go on to postsecondary education.

  5. Some Additional Research… • Parents are more likely to be involved in their child’s education if they trust their child’s teacher (Adams & Christenson, 2000) • When teachers reach out to families, the families are more likely to be involved in their child’s education in some way, resulting in strong, consistent gains in student performance in both reading and math (Westat & Policy Studies Associates, 2001)

  6. Parent Involvement or Family Engagement?

  7. The Continuum

  8. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines… Involvementas “to enfold or envelop.” Engagement as “to interlock with; to mesh.” Do TO Do With

  9. When schools involve parents they are leading with their institutional self-interest and desires. Thus, involvement implies doing to. When schools engageparents they are leading with the parents’ self-interests (their wants and dreams) in an effort to develop a genuine partnership. In contrast, engagement implies doing with.

  10. Key Ideas • The need for a vision • Schools as community centers • School and family cultures • Barriers to partnerships • The role of technology • Evaluating current practice
