Academic Development Institute/School Community Network
"A research-based guide to support teachers and administrators in creating a vibrant school community by developing partnerships and by helping their students’ families to better understand: state learning standards, college and career readiness, family practices to help children learn, and family-school relationships," including effective communication, policies, shared leadership, associations, and connections.
Mahnaz Charania, Christensen Institute
"The innovative tools and models highlighted in this paper reflect the fact that it’s networks—not just grades and degrees—that are needed to ensure students’ wellbeing, academic growth, and expanded career options. As part of these networks, families are an inherent and requisite resource for schools committed to meeting the complex needs of present and future generations in a rapidly changing world."
Hope G. Casto, Kristie LeBeau, and John W. Sipple
“This school–community conceptual framework presents four elements of the school–community relationship that highlight the intersection between the educational and community levels of analysis, as well as the economic and social role that schools play. Rural schools and communities are the focus of this framework; however, it can be applicable in the practice and study of school–community relationships in other settings.”

“With the goal to improve teacher readiness for parent engagement, I propose an integrated parent engagement policy framework. This framework will include three mandatory components: (a) parent engagement policy for educators; (b) inclusion of parent engagement components in teacher education programs; and (c) requirements for parent engagement competencies in teacher certification standards. Such a framework will ensure teacher readiness for parent engagement by transforming a current “patchy” policy landscape and will support teachers throughout their careers to democratically engage with parents.”
