Parent and Family Engagement Through a Restorative Framework

Independent PD’s: Building Community (Staff Engagement, Parents and Families, Students)(Helping Navigate Chaotic Re-entry to School):

Families play an important role in the success of the school community and strong relationships between schools and families are even more critical during virtual learning. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the needs and perspectives of families; the ways in which strong family engagement practices impact learning; and how to work together to promote positive student behavior. We will explore strategies to further engage families to create a culture of collaboration, including how to leverage school partnerships with community-based organizations. The workshop format will encourage sharing/co-creating strategies that have been successful in the new normal across DC schools, both DCPS and public charter.
