Teach For America is honored to partner with Flamboyan Foundation to launch the Family Engagement Leadership Fellowship, a professional learning community where teachers learnresearch-based family engagement best practices designed to increase student achievement. Sessions will focus on (1) relationship building, including home visits; (2) academic partnering inclusive of high quality parent-teacher conferences and student-led conferences; and (3) ongoing communication with families. Additionally, teachers will develop their leadership capacity as they plan, implement, and monitor new family engagement strategies at their school. Family Engagement Leadership Fellows who meet the measures of success will receive a $1500 stipend at the end of SY15-16.
