Family Engagement in Title I Schools
Description
Family engagement is crucial to school improvement. These three briefs, produced by LRP Publications, draw upon the work and expertise of Maria Paredes, Senior Research Associate at WestEd.
The briefs illustrate how teachers and administrators can:
- Implement a successful, evidence-based academic family-teacher team model
- Create a comprehensive family engagement plan that encourages family-supported student learning
- Have more useful and effective parent-teacher conferences
Paredes created the model family engagement in education system—Academic Parent-Teacher Teams (APTT). This highly structured approach to family engagement has produced remarkable results for students, parents, and teachers.
