TEA and the Title I, Part A Parent and Family Engagement Statewide Initiative will offer a pair of workshops at several regional education service center (ESC) locations during the 2019-2020 school year. These sessions are open to all LEAs and ESCs, regardless of ESC region, and will provide attendees an in-depth review and explanation of ESSA, Section 1116 – Parent and Family Engagement, as well as an opportunity to learn strategies to strengthen parent and family engagement programs at their schools.
Building Capacity - Building Relationships
This session will present the building capacity requirements in the context of school culture and building relationships. Meeting the requirements of the statute is satisfactory, but doing so while valuing the contributions of parents and building partnerships with families and the community is exemplary. The session will address the question about how to make connections with parents and families. Attendees will also learn about the newly updated Dual-Capacity Framework. A model school will also share their story and practical strategies in the afternoon. A variety of resource materials will be provided.
Intended Audience: PFE Coordinators, PFE Liaisons, Counselors, Teachers, Federal Programs Staff, School Administrators, and ESC Staff
