One of the most important stakeholders in a diverse school community are the families. In this workshop, we'll share a new approach to family programming that pushes us towards authentic relationship building. We will discuss the key elements needed for successful community programming and elements of careful program planning, particularly in diverse school environments. Participants will leave with an opportunity to think about how this presentation has a direct impact on their practice and will consider next steps in continuing to build their vibrant school communities. This workshop is for engaged parents, classroom teachers, school leaders, policy makers, learning specialists and other staff who would like to support applying the framework to building a connected and involved community for families.
