Strengthening Partnerships: Train the Trainer
Free Virtual & In-Person Offerings
1. To build a strong understanding of the Family Engagement Framework—including its guiding principles, core components, and vision for equitable, culturally responsive family partnerships; and
2. To prepare participants to execute the Framework in practice by developing a clear, actionable plan tailored to their school or district context.
Participants will engage in an in-depth introduction to the Framework, exploring how meaningful family engagement strengthens student outcomes and supports shared responsibility between families, schools, and communities. Through guided discussion, reflection, and collaborative activities, educators will examine current practices and identify opportunities for alignment with the Framework’s principles.
