Strategies for Engaging Families with End of Year Data

Family involvement plays a foundational part in a student’s success and well-being.

When engaging families, oftentimes classroom teachers have a lot of direct communication with families. However, intervention teachers, ESL teachers, and special educators don’t always have as much contact, but oftentimes they do have after-school or before-school duty at parent pickup or parent drop-off. Meeting with parents and family members during parent pick-up and drop-off duty is a great way to engage with them and let them know what’s going on with their child in settings outside of the main classroom. It can be a way to tell parents what they could be doing with their child at home, and it’s a great way just to get to know them and establish a relationship then the parents know you and the kids know you when you are attending their family conferences later on in the school year.
