People will often ask whether family engagement is a priority for districts when closing academic gaps, attendance, mental health, and teacher retention are screaming for attention. It’s such a false dichotomy! High quality family engagement is directly linked to improving all of those outcomes. I’ve been collaborating with Rebecca Honig, Weezie Hough, and Dr. Mallary Swartz to surface the research. This info session will be our second deep dive, this time into the link between academic success and family engagement.

Navigating parent-teacher conferences can be difficult, but it's an important part of supporting our children's education. Am I the only one who feels this way? Let’s unpack how to turn these meetings into opportunities to truly understand and support our children’s learning. The benefits of parent-teacher conferences are about more than just checking off a box. They’re about creating an environment where our children can thrive. By forging bonds with educators, understanding our child's academic landscape, and working together, we enhance their learning experience. As the saying goes, “Education is a partnership between home and school.” Let’s embrace this partnership for our children’s sake. In the next blog I'll share some actionable steps that go with this blog's information. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/d4Te4j6a

Life Advice for The Next Generation "Right now there are wars raging on nearly every continent. It’s almost as if the adults are doing everything they can to break this world before you inherit it. The only solution I see is to grow the compassion and empathy you need to pick up the broken pieces. Look to the kindness that we show the displaced, the refugees. Let that kindness define the new world you can build. Advice number one: Accept your human imperfections Advice number two: Find your own path Advice number three: Travel. And now my final piece of advice: Look up: Put the phone down and look up. Because the world is a beautiful place and you don’t want to let it pass you by. Now it’s not going to be easy. But make sure you go out there and live life with all of its beauty and imperfections. Meet new people. Eat amazing food you’ve never even heard of before. Get your heart broken. Break someone else’s heart. And then do better next time."
