“Stronger family, school, and community partnerships help ensure that relational trust is at the foundation of schools, and that all the actors can work together toward a shared vision of education in their communities. This shared vision of education is critical to education systems transformation.”
This report from the Brookings Institution draws on international research from the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia to draw some strong conclusions about the central importance of family and community engagement in education. The report outlines just how critical family and community engagement is to the effective functioning of a school system, and provides evidence-based strategies for making that engagement happen.
A valuable read for parents, teachers and school leaders alike!
