This infographic encourages teachers and other caring adults to set the tone and engage in authentic partnerships with their students’ families.
"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—the same building blocks used in our Family Engagement Tool.

"Using data, we define relationship-based family engagement as a partnership that starts from a place of strength, centers empathy, and is built from everyday interactions. We also describe practical strategies shared by participants for families and educators that seek to build relationships in support of their children and one another."
Hollie A. Mason and Marcia L. Rock
"Principles of Universal Design for Learning, typically used in PreK–12 education settings, are adapted to apply to families in a proposed framework: Universal Design for Partnerships.…Practical implications on how to apply Universal Design for Partnerships are provided with useful resources for sharing culturally responsive literacy practices with families."
