September 2022–Strengthening School-Family Partnerships

If there’s one thing the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, it’s that schools, families, and local community groups must work together. This issue will explore how schools can strengthen both school-family relationships and local community partnerships. What has changed since the pandemic in educators’ understanding of family engagement? How can schools better leverage these relationships to work through conflict, support student growth, strengthen curriculum, and sustain learning initiatives? And, going a step further, how can schools better integrate community resources and services—including health clinics, social service agencies, and local businesses—to expand supports and programming for students and families? A key focus will be on whole child support and development in the wake of the pandemic.
