FACE Resources

Family and Community Engagement
At our November 5, 2018 General Membership Meeting, we heard an informative and inspiring call to action from speaker JMarie Johnson-Cola regarding Family & Community Engagement (FACE).  Each child must be supported by, not only parents and teachers, but extended families, school districts, neighbors and community members to help them realize their full potential.

Handouts included an example of a Family Engagement Action Plan Template as well as a quote from the Carnegie Corporation of New York regarding what it takes to meet the challenge of FACE:

Meeting this challenge requires ensuring that all families and communities—not just econom­ically advantaged ones—have what it takes to build equitable learning pathways for their children, including high-quality schools and out-of-school learn­ing opportunities. Achieving this requires a major shift in thinking—a shift from devaluing and doing to and for families to one of valuing and cocreating with them. The latter approach foregrounds asking questions, listening, empowering, sharing perspectives and information, part­nering, codesigning, implementing, and assessing new approaches and solutions, and supporting parent leader­ship and advocacy for educational equity and change.
 
--Carnegie Corporation of New York, from
