From Lines to Loops: Simple Steps for Collaborative Parent Conversations

Communication between school and home often happens in just one direction: Schools offer updates, provide information, and make requests. But to have a true partnership between schools and families, communication has to be strong in both directions. Together we'll explore strategies and essential conditions for ensuring that parents have what they need to be an equal part of the conversation and collaboration.

Participants come away with:

• An understanding of the conditions necessary for strong communication between home and school.
• Strategies for ensuring communication is accessible, equitable, and strength-based.
• Tips for creating strong and sustained communication habits.
• Ways to repair communication when things don't go as planned.
