It is well established that when parents and educators engage with one another, students benefit. Beyond one-way parental involvement in traditional activities, parents and teachers engaged in partnerships work jointly and share responsibility for children’s success. This webinar will provide hands-on strategies for building and strengthening family–school partnerships, with particular attention to supports for students with behavioral or social–emotional challenges. A research-based intervention for connecting parents and educators will be reviewed. Implementation tools and tips will be presented, along with video demonstrations, case examples, and discussion. Participants will leave the webinar with knowledge and materials for creating partnerships for student success.
