Note: This is a Crossover Session that is featured at the National Summit on Improvement in Education. Attendees from both conferences can attend this session, so there will be a mix of participants from Deeper Learning and from Summit. This dynamic session invites educators, leaders, and policymakers to explore how family engagement can be a powerful driver of school improvement. Participants will experience a blend of research-based insights, policy analysis, and real-world strategies that highlight the impact of meaningful family partnerships. Through interactive activities, including policy mapping, peer collaboration, and strategic planning, attendees will engage deeply with their own contexts and leave with actionable tools to strengthen family engagement in school improvement plans. Whether you're just beginning or refining your approach, this session offers practical guidance and inspiration for leveraging families as essential partners in student success.
