PLEASE NOTE: This training is offered specifically to staff of EANS eligible schools. This is a series focusing on the most effective strategy for engaging families: relationships. Participants will learn skills for building strong family-teacher relationships such as communication, problem-solving and empathy while exploring their own experiences and biases. Then, facilitators will explore strategies to facilitate and evaluate family engagement and/or education activities that are meaningful, culturally-responsive and aligned with student outcomes. This workshop includes a brief overview of the topic and best practices in family engagement; identifying parent needs and opportunities for parent education; and how to plan and/or monitor progress, identify evidence of culturally responsive teaching in their classrooms, as well as set goals for new strategies they would like to explore.
