In some of our schools, engagement is already strong, where parents and the community come together in support of learning - relationships are strong and positive. In other areas of our district, schools struggle with parent engagement, both in terms of rallying the community to support school needs but also in making parents full partners in their child’s education.
There
is an art and science to creating real, meaningful, and genuine parent and community engagement. We must change our school practices to involve parents in decision-making and bring our community into our schools as partners.
Theory of Action
IF Jeffco Public Schools implement best practices to engage families THEN families will participate as partners to support student learning.
SMART Goal
- By 2024 at least 90% of families will report being "engaged" with their students' school and learning.
