Family engagement requires parents and caregivers to navigate a wide range of new systems and experiences, with very little support. As educators, we often aren’t aware of how caregivers experience the school environment and may take for granted that everyone understands the processes, procedures, and expectations that are commonplace to us. This can create unintentional barriers for many families.

During this interactive and resource-rich edWeb podcast, we share ways to scaffold family engagement so that families have what they need in order to access resources, navigate systems, and partner in their child’s learning. Listen to this session to:

• Understand how scaffolding helps adults create agency and supports incremental and sustainable engagement with families
• Discover the often-invisible foundations necessary for families to engage, including trusting relationships, access to basic needs, language support, and technology
• Learn practical strategies for scaffolding family engagement across a wide range of environments, including school and community

Join us to unlock the power of scaffolding to create a supportive, collaborative environment that empowers every family! This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 school and district leaders, librarians, school counselors and social workers, and those in parent/community involvement, family engagement, and school improvement roles.
