Loved getting to spend time with these excellent principals this morning, collaborating on family engagement. @RTI_Education
North Carolinians should be very proud of our Early College System, which is a model for other states! I love learning alongside my colleagues in the Early College Network! #CravenEarlyCollegeWINS

Schools, if you think asking your families to do this, do that, & this too as far as spirit days/holiday activities you’re missing the mark on how you could be effectively engaging your families. Everyone has limited time & energy. Let’s choose to use it wisely. #familyengagement

Yep!!
Edu-friends, Toilet paper is around $20-$30 for 24-30 rolls, paper towels are around $20 for 12 rolls. If a student does not have a pencil or money for a book fair, please don’t assume that means the parent doesn’t care about their child’s educational experience. #CommunityCare

Saw this quote posted on LinkedIn. This is true, but I also want to share the reminder that this should be viewed as an opportunity to engage with the family of this student to try to partner around solutions, not blame the family. #assetbased #familyengagement #mindset

Families do not assess their level of engagement with their child’s learning based on whether or not they attend events. However, as educators, we tend to assess their engagement based on whether or not they do. Let’s change that! #familyengagement

We’ve always had families not able to make it to the school building. Let’s not forget this if things ever go back to “normal.” - @KellyBushNC

It is like a ray of sunshine 🌅 on a cold winter day when we hear we've inspired teachers to find time to reach out to families. Parents and caregivers are such an important part of student success. #NCRethinkEd

I’ve seen at least 4 posts tonight on FB about father+daughter dances. While it’s sweet, it’s not inclusive. My hope is that they’ve extended to invite to a broader set of caregivers, but why not start with the name? #familyengagement

I know this is a hard chew but… students don’t owe us. They don’t owe us good moods, they don’t owe us job fulfillment, they don’t even owe us good data (sorry but they don’t 😬). You know why…Because students are not responsible for adult emotions/outcomes.
