Institute for Educational Leadership, Inc.
Project Title
For project support of annual National Family Engagement and Community Schools Conference
Date
Jun. 08, 2023
Duration
6 months
Description
Research has shown that student achievement increases when parents are engaged in their children’s learning and that strong family-school partnerships are the foundation for family engagement. Applying best practices in family engagement to local contexts however requires an understanding of the conditions and capabilities that support engagement, particularly at the school and district levels. The Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) has been partnering with district leaders to capture best practices and to support the field in deepening its implementation of effective and systemic engagement efforts while enhancing professional development opportunities for teachers, principals, and school staff. Since 2014, IEL has organized the National Family Engagement Conference, the nation’s largest convening for the family and community engagement field, with over 200 district leaders representing more than 9,000 schools across forty-four states working to improve district practices in support of families. The Corporation will support IEL’s 2023 National Family and Community Engagement conference in order to continue sharing best practices, integrating strategies such as capacity building and leadership development, and moving toward a more systemic engagement of parents and families across the country.
