As educators, we often aren’t aware of how caregivers experience the school environment and may take for granted that everyone understands the processes, procedures, and expectations that are commonplace to us. This can create unintentional barriers for many families.During this interactive and resource-rich edWeb podcast, we share ways to scaffold family engagement so that families have what they need in order to access resources, navigate systems, and partner in their child’s learning.
