Bridging the Engagement Gap - Building Community Support and Involvement in Your District
When schools, parents, families, and communities work together to support learning, students tend to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and enroll in higher level programs. To ensure that the students of today are ready for the careers of tomorrow, families, schools, and community groups need to work together to promote engagement that is systemic, sustained, and integrated into school improvement efforts. Join Dr. Wanda Creel, Chief Academic Officer of Lee County Schools, FL as she outlines strategies for helping schools and districts build a set of day-to-day practices, attitudes, beliefs and interactions that support effective community engagement.
