New local parent-teacher advocacy resource! What can we learn from how school and district leaders engaged stakeholders during the pandemic? This new resource, developed by the Center for Family Engagement and the American Federation of Teachers, offers guidance to improve family and teacher engagement in times of crisis and can be replicated in local communities. Check out and share: A Discussion Guide to Meaningfully Engage Parents and Teachers During Times of Crisis and the accompanying webinar.
