About Family Engagement Lab

Families rely on educators to communicate what their children are learning and how families can help at home. This necessary communication from teachers to families is often inadequate due to racial and cultural biases, in addition to language barriers.
School systems need the tools and support to effectively engage families in learning. Research shows that involvement from a parent or caregiver in at-home learning has more than twice the effect on student test scores than parents’ education levels or socio-economic status.
Family Engagement Lab catalyzes equitable family engagement and student learning by bridging classroom curriculum and at-home learning.
