Family & Civic Engagement
“Family Engagement is a full, equal, and equitable partnership among families, educators, and community partners to promote children’s learning and development from birth through college and career.” - Dr. Karen Mapp
Studies have shown that students who have parents engaged in their school lives are more likely to have:
Higher grades and test scores.
Better student behavior.
Enhanced social skills.
"In this education course, you will learn what family engagement is and why it matters to the success of students and schools. We will explore the research linking family engagement to better educational outcomes and speak directly with researchers, educators, students, and families about promising practices in the field."
