The Power of Partnership: Unlocking Student Success Through Family Engagement LIMITED

Friday March 21, 2025 9:45am - 10:35am PDT

Auditorium

Join us for a workshop where you’ll exchange ideas with fellow educators, fine-tune your engagement plans, and leave feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to take action!

This dynamic, hands-on workshop will help you reimagine family engagement—shifting from check-the-box compliance to meaningful, culturally responsive partnerships that make a difference.

Together, we’ll explore powerful strategies rooted in research-backed frameworks like the Dual Capacity-Building Framework and the LAUSD Family Empowerment Rubric to identify what’s working and missing and how to reach families who may feel left out. Through interactive discussions, small-group collaboration, and a guided action-planning session, you’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-implement strategies to connect with multilingual and underrepresented families, ensuring every child has the support they need to thrive.
