The Role of School Communication in Building Pathways to Family Engagement
Thu, April 8, 5:00 to 6:00pm EDT (5:00 to 6:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Family, School, Community Partnerships Roundtable SessionsAbstract
Family engagement frameworks identify communication as a critical component in engaging families. This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the relationship between different categories of school communication and different types of family engagement. This study found significant associations between informative school communication and school-, home-, and community-based family engagement, while negative communications were not associated with any type of family engagement. Finally, analyses indicated that the relationship between informative communication and family engagement was stronger for Latinx families on measures of school- and home-based engagement.
