Family Engagement Theory

Family Engagement Theory emphasizes the importance of active and meaningful participation of families in their children's education and development. It suggests that when families are involved—through communication, collaboration, and shared decision-making—children tend to perform better academically, socially, and emotionally. The theory recognizes that families' influence and support, combined with educational efforts, create a stronger, more supportive environment that promotes positive growth. Essentially, it highlights that fostering strong, respectful partnerships between families and educational institutions benefits children’s overall well-being and success.
