Leadership for Authentic Family Engagement
Strong, committed, courageous and transformational leadership is essential to long-term success in developing authentic family engagement processes that lead to student learning improvement and school success. The common denominator of all successful family engagement programs is engaged leadership.
Because the role of leadership is so very critical to achieving and sustaining success of family engagement processes, this master class is designed to build upon and expand the capacity and knowledge of present school and district leaders with regard to the purpose, practice and outcomes associated with effective and authentic family engagement.
Dr Constantino's presentation and webinars provided us with the basis to move forward in including the value of parent voice in our decisions. I have heard from so many family liaisons that his work with us was like a guiding light, a path to follow. So much of what we do is now based on this powerful engagement sessions. We have continued to use his inspiration through discussion and his books.
