communication with school are predictors of student achievement. RWC2020 and Community Schools have co -designed a new family engagement plan that aims at turning our Leadership groups into promoters of knowledge (promotoras) and meaningful capacity building. Our vision: designing monthly modules around 3 main modules: . Community building/ schoolwide outreach . Educational partners/ At home learning -System navigation/ Community resources Each module (meeting) will follow same script: .learning and reflection: working through that module's content and creating probing questions -> building the participants' capacity. Changing how they view their role in their family, community, and school. -Action: trying it out ourselves, sharing with others. -> sharing the tools school - wide: disseminating knowledge promotoras style. RCSD will start working with all Community Schools in the fall. By partnering with parents in a deeper capacity, where we support their skill acquisition beyond outreach and onto content dissemination, RCSD Community Schools will be able to reach more families in more informal spaces and touchpoints, and overcome the presence -based requirements. Content created for the family leadership teams will be replicated and shared through available RCSD mediums, including newsletters, social media, blast texts, and videos or podcasts. Both groups, the district committee and the RWC2020 Socios program, will work in collaboration and alignment to measure results. Some of the outcomes that will be measured through this program include: • % increase in families enrolled in social service supports through pre -post surveys. • % increase in family participation at schools, through school participation data. • # of touch -points between parent promotoras and community. • % of families that can positively name their role in their children's learning and development, through pre -post surveys. 2.
