Moving Forward: Building Capacity for Systemic Family Engagement Karen L. Mapp, Ed.D. Harvard Graduate School of Education Copyright © 2012 Karen L. Mapp

What’s happening in the field of Family Engagement? Proposed increase in Title One set-aside for family engagement from 1% to 2% Senior level positions are being created in districts around the country to coordinate family and community engagement initiatives More family engagement language priority language is being included in federal notices (I3, 21 st Century, Promise Neighborhoods) …and “Tiger Mom” phenomenon “Parent Trigger” – “Won’t Back Down” movie Parent Organizing

What is the definition of Family Engagement? Family Engagement is any way that a child’s adult caretaker (biological parents, foster parents, siblings, grandparents, etc.) effectively supports learning and healthy development.

Secretary Arne Duncan: My vision for family engagement is ambitious…I want to have too many parents demanding excellence in their schools. I want all parents to be real partners in education with their children’s teachers, from cradle to career. In this partnership, students and parents should feel connected--and teachers should feel supported. When parents demand change and better options for their children, they become the real accountability backstop for the educational system. (May 3, 2010)

When families are effectively engaged in their children’s education and in the improvement of schools, what are the various roles they can play? 5KLM Copyright 2012

Families are engaged as: Supporters of their children’s learning Encouragers of an achievement identity, a positive self image, and a “can do” spirit Monitors of their children’s time, behavior, boundaries and resources Models of lifelong learning and enthusiasm for education Advocates for improved learning opportunities for their children and at their schools Decision-makers/choosers of educational options for their child, the school, and community Collaborators with school staff and members of the community KLM Copyright 20126

Why has it been difficult to cultivate and sustain effective family-school partnerships that support student achievement and school improvement?

The various stakeholders (parents, school leaders, and school staff) have not had the opportunity to develop the collective capacity to engage in effective partnerships.

What is capacity? Connections – social capital, the internal and external relationships and the strength and structure of those connections Capabilities – the specific types of human capital, skills knowledge and know-how Confidence – the types of individual self - efficacy Cognition – beliefs, assumptions and worldviews – Higgins (2005) %KLM Copyright

Example: Title One, section 1118 requirement for families to be engaged, with district/school staff, in the development of family engagement policy for districts and schools.

Where do we start?

Requires a paradigm shift: From seeing parents as a part of the problem to seeing them as a part of the solution.

Systemic Family Engagement Focused on improving the core enterprise and is linked to learning and development Aligned and coherent with the overall whole school improvement goals Inclusive of various stakeholders in the community Integrated across the system and not “stand alone” or “boutique” projects Attempting to shift school structures and cultures to share power and resources with stakeholders, especially families. 25KLM Copyright 2012
