What is Family Engagement?
Communicating clearly and often with families is essential to improve attendance and engagement. Recent research shows that schools with strong family engagement experienced better-than-expected attendance, achievement and school climate outcomes post-pandemic.
In a podcast, Learning Heroes’ Eyal Bergman explains how family engagement can build relationships with families who then feel a part of the school community.
Use chronic absence data from the prior school year to identify which schools, districts, grades and student groups might benefit the most from an even greater emphasis on relationship building and family engagement as you enter the new school year.
We’ve collected a variety of resources for educators to share at the start of school that can help families and students get back into routine of regular attendance.
Panorama Education has tools to help educators learn what families think about their school. Consider the Family-School Relationships Survey, that can paint a picture of family attitudes about several key topics. Note: You must provide your email to access the survey.
