Parent Centers: Implementation Plays
- We support school leaders to open a Parent Center on campus that facilitates communication between families and the school and provides opportunities for parents to collaborate together. We provide funds for furniture and equipment, including computers and branded signs to designate the space.
- We work with school leaders to recruit a Community Representative responsible for staffing the center, and we provide professional development to the Community Representative to create functional spaces that actively orient and bring in parents, engage volunteers, and convene parents and families.
- We serve as thought-partners in the development of a calendar of culturally-responsive educational events hosted by the Parent Center that are aligned with the school’s priorities and strategic plan. We support the school to plan and facilitate these events to promote two-way engagement between home and school and bring families together across cultures and languages.
