Families & Learning
Language, capacity, and community are the keys to learning and education. By focusing on language awareness, family-school partnerships, and cultural diversity, we can boost student achievement and success.
Family is…
LANGUAGE
Language is a tool for learning, and the goal of learning. It is a vessel for culture, heritage, hopes, and aspirations. Bringing intentionality to language awareness, design and competence will pave the way for cultivating family engagement and student success.
CAPACITY
Family-school alliance directly influences student achievement and success. Building capacity means empowering families and teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources to support and elevate children’s learning across developmental domains.
COMMUNITY
As the world changes, so do the needs of families and children. One thing that stays the same, however, is community. Identifying the systems within a community that guide, nurture and launch a child into the world is crucial to student achievement and success.
