What Structures Can Help Schools Create Effective Family and Community Involvement That Supports Learning Outside of School?: An Interactive Research Brief

This interactive research brief was produced by SEDL's National Center for Family and Community Connections with Schools. The Center links people with research-based information and resources that they can use to effectively connect schools, families, and communities. It emphasizes connections that directly impact student achievement in reading and mathematics, as well as connections that contribute to the students' overall success in school and in life. The Center reviews emerging findings and research to develop an online resources, arrange conferences, and provides training and networking across the REL system to link research findings to practice.

 

In this module you will learn research-based strategies that involve families and partner organizations to support learning in a variety of settings other than the classroom. You will also explore a framework for effective family and community involvement that is based on current research.

 

The module is the second in a series of three modules and is available in English and Spanish from the SEDL Learning Center.
