Partnerships & Engagement

Strong partnerships help schools run well. This section shows how leaders, teachers, and staff work together and how the school builds relationships with families and communities. Together, these measures help families understand whether the school communicates clearly, welcomes parent involvement, and creates a culture where adults work as a team to support students.

This section focuses on adult collaboration and family partnership, not student connection or participation, which appear in the Connectedness and Wellbeing section.

How the Pieces Fit Together

Effective leaders build trust and a clear plan so teachers and principals can work as one team. Collaborative teachers share ideas, plan together, and support each other to meet students’ needs. Family engagement allows parents and caregivers to be partners in students’ learning and the school’s decision making. Together, they build the trusting relationships needed for students to learn and grow.

    Example

    A school could have strong teacher collaboration but low family involvement. This means the teachers work well together, but the school may need to strengthen relationships with families. Families could ask how the school plans to strengthen communication and make it easier for parents to get involved.
