At Denver Public Schools (DPS) and in every district in Rhode Island, family and community engagement empowers parents to be partners in creating great schools. In this webinar, leaders from DPS and from the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) share strategies for engaging all families in the service of student success.
Included in this recording:
- Dr. Karen Mapp of the Harvard Graduate School of Education discusses the Dual Capacity-Building Framework for family engagement.
- Landon Mascareñaz, executive director for strategy development and family empowerment at DPS, presents how this urban district has put the Framework into practice to build strong family-school partnerships.
- Commissioner Ken Wagner and Peg Votta, research specialist, from RIDE share how the state department of education supports districts’ coordinated efforts to promote family-school partnerships that improve schools.
