Every student needs a school counselor who recognizes parents as trusted partners in their children's learning and success. We have SC and family resources at @OhioEngage #NSCW25 ohiofamiliesengage.osu.edu

Students thrive when their school counselors work with families to support each student's success. That's why @OhioEngage is working with 37 SC from 19 Ohio Middle Schools to strengthen family-school partnerships in these important grades. #NSCW25

Ohio school leaders know the importance of partnerships with families to support student engagement and learning. These schools are making sure every teacher, family, and student have what they need to be good partners. 👏👏👏👏👏

"Parents are in the dark [about their child's engagement in school] because schools rarely have in-depth discussions with families about the quality of students learning experiences." We can make this change together! brookings.edu/articles/the-d… @OhioEngage

@OhioEngage @pdkintl Families and schools both impact students’ engagement in their learning. We hope the brief gives you a few ideas you can act on this school year.

“Collaborating with families is key to preventing and intervening in student absenteeism and improving school attendance.” @boonebbuzz, Tom Capretta, and Max Zhang’s article in @pdkintl highlights ways to work with families to address chronic absenteeism kappanonline.org

Absenteeism has long been a chronic problem in education, yet families are often underrepresented in conversations aimed at improving awareness of this issue. Staff at @OhioEngage outline how school and family partnerships can help. Learn more at bit.ly/3D7joYl.

AI is a tool for family-school partnerships! Read more about it in this blog from our Center on Education and Training for Employment Leads Ohio in Advancing AI Literacy @OSUOutreach ehe.osu.edu/news/listing/c…

@OhioEngage @HadleyBachman @usedgov @HadleyBachman is leading a session @usedgov today about using AI for strengthening home-school partnerships! @OSUcete

This week two of our leaders (@boonebbuzz and @HadleyBachman) are attending the Statewide Family Engagement Center Director’s Meeting organized by @usedgov! We appreciate this time to network with other SFECs and learn new ideas for Ohio.

We have a new article for you on how school and family partnership can reduce chronic absenteeism - Kappan Online - with Thomas Capretta, @maxzhangjy and @OhioEngage kappanonline.org/school-and-fam…

The number of English learners in Ohio schools doubled between 2012-2022.

@FLTGlasgow @GIC_Glasgow @glasgowcounts I'd love to hear more about the program and how families enjoy it.

How I'm feeling about our Family Engagement Leadership Summit this Friday, 9.20.24. Register and you'll feel this way too. @OhioEngage @OSUcete ohiofamiliesengage.osu.edu/2024-annual-su…

My biggest takeaway from the @AdCouncil report on school attendance - Families of kids who are absent a lot need to hear from their child's TEACHER with KIND messages. Easy and low cost approach! Data in this report reminds us all families CARE DEEPLY for their children.
