FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
Culturally responsive-sustaining (CRS) family engagement is absolutely critical for meaningful learning to take place. CR-S family engagement is the practice of authentic, equal partnership with families, rooted in a deep knowledge and appreciation for the rich social and cultural identities, assets, habits and contexts that families bring to learning.
We want to help deepen family engagement and continue to foster learning during the pandemic, as well as assist parent and community groups advocating for stronger and more community-connected practices in their schools.
In order to facilitate that we plan to partner with community organizations to reach as many families as possible, focusing on vulnerable, marginalized, monolingual and communities of color. Through thoughtful and sensitive community engaged research, we would like to assess the level and kind of experienced trauma as well as the varied needs for support, and thus provide a space for parents and families to have a voice - and have it counted - in all aspects their children’s educational experiences.
