4 Core Beliefs for Family Engagement
1 All parents have dreams for their children and want the best for them.
2 All parents have the capacity to support their children’s learning.
3 Parents and school staff should be equal partners.
4 The responsibility for building partnerships between school and
home rests primarily with school staff, especially school leaders.
