Description¶

The report distills formative findings about the viability of leveraging public-private partnerships for family engagement into six practices: "allowing sufficient time when moving from planning to implementation; investing in the maintenance of strong partnerships; attending to the difficulties of engaging traditionally hard-to-reach families; emphasizing supports professionals need, especially teachers and schools, to foster family engagement; supporting quality implementation of evidence-based models; and sustaining a long-term vision for improvement in children's educational outcomes."
