Engaging Families in Schools: Innovative Approaches to Community Building

One of the most important stakeholders in a school community are the families. In this workshop, we'll share an innovative approach to family programming, one that pushes us to think beyond the "multicultural potluck" and towards authentic relationship building and a further sense of belonging with families in our school community. We will discuss the key elements needed for successful community programming and elements of careful program planning, in order to reach the full diversity of families within the school community.
