Preparing Educators for Family and Community Engagement: A Spotlight on Co-Constructed Research Approaches
Sun, April 16, 9:50 to 11:20am CDT (9:50 to 11:20am CDT), Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, Floor: 4th Floor, Addison - 1/2 Marriott BallroomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The objective of this symposium is to create space for analysis and discussion around the role of research in expanding and guiding how educators are prepared to engage families and communities meaningfully and equitably. Research points to family and community engagement as one of the most important predictors of student and life success. Yet, research consistently shows that educators rarely have opportunities to learn and practice family and community engagement during their preparation and throughout their careers. This interactive symposium will explore the latest research on educator preparation for family and community engagement with a particular focus on approaches that center and co-construct knowledge and practices with families, especially those who are underserved.
