Family Engagement in Education Policy

Family engagement in education policy involves actively involving parents and families in their children’s learning and school decisions. It recognizes that when families participate—through communication, volunteering, or decision-making—they support student success, improve school climate, and help shape effective education practices. Policies that promote family engagement aim to build strong partnerships between schools and families, ensuring that families' voices are heard and their needs are addressed, leading to better educational outcomes and more inclusive, responsive schools.
