Family Engagement Learning Series Briefs from the U.S. Department of Education

Posted on April 8, 2024

Welcome to the Family Engagement Learning Series briefs!

These briefs summarize a six-part webinar series of conversations designed to Raise the Bar for family engagement practices between school and home.

The 2023 series produced by the U.S. Department of Education in partnership with Carnegie Corporation of New York and Overdeck Family Foundation, provided an overview of evidence, highlighted bright spots in the field, and shared resources and evidence-based strategies to support student success with education leaders and practitioners. We believe parents, families, and caregivers are essential partners in supporting student success.

Research finds that strong partnerships between home and school lead to increased academic success and engagement for students. Thus, the U.S. Department of Education is committed to Raising the Bar for Parent Partnership in Our Schools. “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” is the U.S. Department of Education’s call to action to transform public education and unite around what truly works — based on decades of experience and research — to advance education equity and excellence.
