Family engagement is most effective when it is embraced as everyone’s work—but what happens when staff members don’t see the value of partnering with families? This interactive session will explore practical strategies for engaging colleagues who may view family engagement as “one more thing” on an already full plate, question its impact, or feel uncertain about how to build meaningful relationships with families.
Participants will leave with concrete strategies for building staff ownership, addressing resistance with curiosity, and creating a culture where family engagement is viewed as an essential part of effective practice—not an additional task.
