Teaching for Change’s approach to family engagement, called Tellin’ Stories, will be featured in the January 31, 2018 “Effective Practices Webinar” for the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE). Tellin’ Stories, a nationally recognized approach to family engagement, draws from community organizing, popular education, racial equity, and best practices in family engagement to build stronger schools with parent power.
In the webinar, titled “The Role of Parent Leadership in Improving Student Achievement and Building Equity,” Teaching for Change staff will highlight real-life examples of parent organizing and parent leadership that directly supported academic achievement and equity in D.C.-area public schools while sharing strategies for schools to support parent leadership.
The webinar is free and open to all, and will also feature the National Parent Leadership Institute, the Parent Institute for Quality Education, and United Parent Leaders Action Network.
