Contact PaTTAN's Family Engagement Team to plan sessions in the upcoming school year on family engagement and other educational strategies, helpful resources, and best practices.
Consider offering in-person training or networking sessions for staff and families together. What better way to build collaborative partnerships? Online sessions are available, though face-to-face interactions are more engaging and trust building.
As PaTTAN supports your school's/district's efforts in enhancing family and community engagement, we need your help in designing professional development and technical assistance based on your preferences and needs.
