EDUC 658 - Engaging Families and Communities

3 Hour(s)

This course is designed to expose future school leaders to the larger community beyond the school walls, and the opportunities that exist for forming alliances with families, community leaders, non-profits, and governmental agencies all in the service of student achievement and engagement. Successful partnerships with a variety of stakeholders in urban, suburban, and rural settings will be examined. Special attention will be given to the home/school trust dynamic and family systems theory. (Clinical experiences in school and district settings required.)
