“Disengaged parents” only exist when educators look outward, seeing the problem as resting with families, not seeing ourselves as part of it. When we look inward at ourselves instead, we see “parents with whom we do not yet have a relationship.” Now, there are things we can do.

Saskatchewan, teachers, many of you have deep and long held practises of engaging with parents. Please consider contacting Max and participating in his study. This is important research! @WalkAlongsideSK @CoConstructED

In T @emilyfranESL's practice, family outreach is "built on acknowledging families’ strengths!" #SchoolCulture

Yes! I invite everyone to read the EdWeek article linked in the tweet. Really valuable points made clearly and concisely. #familyengagement #parentengagement
Love the distinction: involvement is leading with your mouth, engagement is leading with your ears. Captures the difference between a schoolcentric approach and a familycentric approach. @DrDebbiePushor @WalkAlongsideSK

"We don’t have an attendance problem. We have an engagement problem, a relationship problem, we have a trust problem."
Learn why overhauling family engagement helped these public schools in Richmond, Va. boost attendance.

Music benefits us at any age! Improve language and physical skills; build connections to family and community. Reuse items to make instruments at home (pots and spoons, boxes and rubber bands)! Ideas: discover.hubpages.com/art/Mu…

Excellent article by @e_ehiyazaryan Creating translanguaging affirmative space through artifactual literacies: towards addressing power imbalance with multilingual parents journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
I am excited to share my recently published article in Qualitative Research (QR). In an early childhood context it considers dialogue with multilingual and migrant parents differently, reframing the interview as translanguaging affirmative space: lnkd.in/ejnDQc-u

"If educators and school system leaders want to provide what each student needs to thrive, parents offer critical insights to support the learning of every student inside and outside of the classroom."

Any priority area in schs requires resourcing – time, money, PD, & resources such as physical & emotional commitments. It won’t happen otherwise. Same is true of #parentengagement. It can’t be an add-on to tchrs’ loads, but integral to their core work. @TobiAnneLyons1
Question for teachers- if parent engagement is crucial for students success, how much PD time is set for leaving to engage parents?@DrDebbiePushor edweek.org/leadership/opinio…

In Denver with the #NAFSCEAssembly24 - celebrating national thought leadership in Family & Community Engagement - with GIANTS in the field.
Where you find GREAT SCHOOLS and improved student outcomes - you find ENGAGED FAMILIES and communities. Research continually supports this - and practice shows it again and again.
Hot off the press: Findings from KY’s Statewide Family Engagement Center #SFEC.
Finding 3: Three essential conditions were present each time power rippled from families and communities to schools, rather than the converse:
> Creating space for families to co-create, lead, and facilitate
> Building equitable relationships between families and schools
> Employing qualified and committed staff.
Full Findings Here: bit.ly/48kYuAv
Grateful to @Dr_DMPerry and @metronyu for these years of partnership and the opportunity for work in #Kentucky to contribute to the field.
Congratulations, @DrSConstantino! Well-deserved!
