A school striving for family involvement often leads with its mouth - identifying projects, needs, and goals and then telling parents how they can contribute. A school striving for parent engagement, on the other hand, tends to lead with its ears - listening to what parents think, dream, and worry about. The goal of family engagements is not to serve clients but to gain partners.

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