An effective parent
and family engagement program is an important piece that contributes to student
success. This half-day professional development session: Building Capacity and Building Relationships for Family Engagement will provide a quick overview of ESSA Section 1116, Building Capacity
requirements and will focus on strategies to help schools work innovatively with parents and
families. Building the capacity of staff and parents is a requirement, but for sustained success it needs to be a mindset.
This training was developed by the Title I, Part A Parent & Family Engagement Statewide Initiative, ESC 16 and delivered at cluster sites around the state.
