Catalyzing the impact of family engagement on student learning
About us
Family Engagement Lab is a national nonprofit that catalyzes equitable family engagement and student learning by bridging classroom curriculum and at-home learning. Its work builds partnerships between teachers and historically underserved families by facilitating ongoing communication and collaboration about learning. Its signature tool, FASTalk, shares engaging, at-home learning activities via text messages in each family’s home language. FASTalk significantly increases equity in academic achievement, helping students the furthest behind catch up to their peers. Family Engagement Lab is experiencing rapid growth through partnerships with districts such as Oakland Unified School District as well as collaborations with leading education organizations such as the Louisiana Department of Education. The nonprofit’s efforts bring together a commitment to educational equity, research, technology, and practical experience in pre-K-12 systems.
