Individual Professionals Path: Level 4
With a multi-tiered approach, school leaders strengthen a school’s system of supports in all areas: Family engagement is proactive, accounts for all families, and opens opportunities for families to play important roles in school improvement. In this leadership-level, four-day institute, principals, coordinators, directors, and other district-level administrators will have the opportunity to bridge implementation research to practice when planning to apply multi-tiered family engagement in their schools and districts. Through a train-the-trainer model, participants will also be equipped to lead teams in the design of multi-tiered action plans for family engagement.
