🎙️ New Episodes: Strengthening Family Engagement in Your School
Hey leaders, If you’re trying to deepen trust with families, build stronger school-home partnerships, and boost your overall culture, these two new Empowered Educator episodes are exactly what you need. I released two companion episodes that work together to give you BOTH the mindset and the playbook for powerful family engagement. EPISODE 1: Top 10 Family Engagement Strategies This episode breaks down the big picture — the approaches that schools with strong family partnerships get right. You’ll hear about things like: - Clear, consistent communication - Building relational trust - Making families feel seen and valued - Partnering with parents instead of performing for them - Creating a school culture where families belong, not “visit” If you need a reset or want to strengthen your leadership approach in this area, this one is your foundation. EPISODE 2: Top 10 Family Engagement Activities Every School Should Be Doing This is the hands-on, practical follow-up. You’ll get ten easy-to-launch activities you can roll out right away, including: - Student-Led Family Learning Night - Cultural Celebration Night - Family STEM Challenges - Literacy Pajama Party - Parent University workshops - Celebration of Learning Expo Nothing complicated. Nothing expensive. Just high-impact experiences that get families in the building and engaged with what matters most — their child’s learning. Why These Two Episodes Work Together The strategies help you shift your mindset. The activities help you put it into motion. And together? They give you a complete roadmap for building the kind of family partnerships that transform school culture. 💬 YOUR TURN Drop in the comments: Which activity or strategy are you planning to try first?
