What happens when we become partners?

“Parent engagement deepens our understanding of the teaching and learning process and can be an exciting, fruitful journey for educators. By seeking connection with families and the communities that surround our schools, we enter into a dynamic community of learners that can enrich our teaching, our sense of meaningfulness and our effectiveness in engaging students in the classroom.”
