Family Engagement

A Culture of Shared Responsibility

 

Family Engagement is a key element to the success of students. LACOE's family engagement website is designed to provide districts, schools, and teachers with an array of high quality strategies to effectively engage families. The resources found here will assist you in cultivating and sustaining a culture of shared responsibility.

Harvard Family Resource Project’s, Beyond Random Acts: Family, School, and Community Engagement as an Integral Part of Education Reform encourages districts and schools to make family engagement a systemic, integrated, and sustained effort aligned to student learning.
