This workshop supports participants shift from thinking about the way we partner with families from “parent involvement” to “family engagement”. We will focus on the Wisconsin-based supports that families need to help schools close gaps and increase student achievement. These supports include those that educators also need to engage families effectively. Discussion centers on building trust and connecting families to Wisconsin-based information and tools.
