Collab Lab 66: Engaging Families
Thursday February 13 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
What’s possible when we fold caregivers into the mix?
You could think of it as customer discovery. Caregivers know more about the lives of students than we ever can. What can we learn from them about where students are coming from and what their lives are like outside of school. They are also the only good source of information about the caregiver’s own relationship to school and the confidence, comfort, time they have to help support their student. How might we engage families differently if our goal is not simply to get support for what we’re tying to do in school, but working towards a shared goal of helping students become all that they might.
Come share your experience, questions, and ideas. As always, you’ll be joined by peers and collaborators from K-12 higher education, industry, and the nonprofit community. If you are, work with or know of a caregiver or student (7th grade and above) who would like to join the discussion, please extend the invitation.
