SWIFT Guide / Family & Community Engagement / Trusting Family Partnerships

Trusting Family Partnerships

Trusting Family Partnerships contribute to positive student outcomes when family members and school staff have respectful, mutually beneficial relationships with shared responsibility for student learning; when family members have options for meaningful involvement in their children’s education and in the life of the school; and the school responds to family interests and involvement in a culturally responsive manner.

SWIFT-IN-60

This film shows how Trusting Family Partnerships are created by including families in important school decision-making teams and leadership roles.
