Free Education Week Webinar: Helping Children Succeed Through Family Engagement
Research shows that when parents are engaged in their children’s learning, students succeed. Educators often need support in helping families integrate into local school communities, where they can learn about the education practices and policies that impact their children. The challenge is figuring out the best methods for building these relationships.
The philanthropic foundation Carnegie Corporation of New York commissioned the Global Family Research Project to create a challenge paper on the history, current practices, and future potential of family engagement. In this free webinar learn about the five high-leverage areas identified in the report: attendance, data sharing, academic and social development, digital media, and transition points.
The Corporation invited four nonprofit organizations to explain what success might look like based on their experiences in creating successful models, showing how others might do the same.
Date: Thursday, April 25, 2019
Time: 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Duration: 1 hour
