The goal of family engagement in education is to build genuine relationships over time between students, families, educators, and the community. Positive relationships and shared responsibility supports family well-being,
and children's healthy development from the earliest ages into young adulthood.
Effective family engagement is culturally responsive, collaborative, equitable, and respectful of diverse languages, norms, and values. Effective family engagement also tries to eliminate barriers to participation and takes place in schools, in the community, and wherever students live and learn.
