Family Engagement Measures: How States, Districts and Programs Are Measuring Family Engagement
Measuring the degree to which families are engaged in their children’s learning and then using that data for informing improvement processes can be challenging. In this panel presentation, presenters from Kansas, Colorado and Texas will share how their states, districts and programs are measuring family engagement in ways that are more meaningful to promoting student success. Participants will also learn how the use of a logic model can lead to the development of effective family engagement strategies.
