Family Engagement: We define family engagement as meaningful connections between schools <br /> and their student? families. According to research, family engagement at school and families' <br /> communication with schools are predictors of student achievement, in their review of research on <br /> the various models of family engagement, identified key conditions necessary to engage families, <br /> including building trusting and collaborative relationships, recognizing family needs and culture, <br /> and embracing a philosophy of partnership and shared responsibility for students' learning. In <br /> addition, successful family engagement efforts work to build parents' sense of efficacy and <br /> confidence to interact with school personnel, welcome and invite families in, and act <br /> responsively to family life variables. <br /> • Our goal is to provide training, outreach, support services to 70% of families whose <br /> students attend RCSD Community Schools. <br /> ATTY/AGR/2016.182/REDWOOD CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS FY 16-17 <br /> REV: 07-12-16 RL <br /> Page 7 of 7 <br />
