This blog encompasses our class's strategies for family engagement.


We  chose to use the six components of successful family engagement as adapted in the Family Engagement Action Plan - Draft produced by the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development as our core document.

Welcoming Every Family 
- Every family coming into the school or interacting with school personnel feels welcome.

Two-Way Communication 
- Families and school staff engage in regular, two-way, meaningful communication about student learning.


Sharing Power 
- Families and school staff are equal partners in decisions that affect children and work together to create policies, practices, and programs.


Supporting Student Success 
- Families and school staff continuously collaborate to support students’ learning and healthy development, both at home and at school.


Collaborating with Community 
- Families and school staff are connected to expanded learning opportunities, community services, and civic participation.


Speaking for Every Child 
- Families are empowered to be advocates for their own and other children, to ensure that students are treated fairly and have access to learning opportunities that will support their success.
