Research shows that building trusting relationships with families is essential to effective educational programming. Participants will learn specific tools, strategies, and techniques for engaging diverse families in their child’s education through a two-generation approach along with a Parent Ambassador leadership program. As a result of these implementations, family engagement has become increasingly more integrated, systemic and focused district-wide leading to increased family participation. Applying these findings can have a positive effect on student academic achievement. The Hayward Unified School District has used reasearch based practices to restructure family engagement programs this has in turn lead to a 300% increase in participation rates in two years.
