Title I, Part A Parent and Family Engagement - Program Evaluation

As we approach the end of the academic year, it is time to shift our focus to the evaluation of Parent and Family Engagement (PFE) programs within your Local Education Agency (LEA). We understand the critical role that effective family engagement plays in student success, and we appreciate your ongoing dedication to fostering strong partnerships between schools, families, and communities.

We encourage you to begin the assessment process promptly. This evaluation not only helps in gauging the effectiveness of your current initiatives but also serves as a foundation for planning improvements and setting goals for the upcoming school year.  An Evaluation Toolkit is available to assist with this process.

Resources

To assist you in this endeavor, we have compiled a comprehensive set of resources and guidelines. You can access these resources through the Title I, Part A Parent and Family Engagement Statewide Initiative website.
