Join National PTA and the School Superintendents Association for a conversation on the importance of using family engagement strategically for a strong school year.

Hear from leaders, practitioners and parents from districts and schools that have used family engagement as a tool to achieve dramatic improvements in student outcomes. Learn about best practices and programs that promote positive family-school partnerships and support student success.

You will also learn about a new tool created by National PTA in partnership with Johns Hopkins University’s Evidence for ESSA to help you find and vet evidence-based family engagement programs.
