The two conference descriptions are below:
FCE Conference
Engaging Families & Expanding Opportunities:
Partnership. Leadership. Inclusion (April 8-9, 2014)
This conference will bring together various networks of educators, parent advocates, community organizers, students, and others concerned with enhancing and expanding opportunities for ALL children and families and strengthening partnerships to improve engagement at all levels. Conference workshops and activities will address four aspects of quality engagement practices: parent leadership for school improvement; parent-teacher partnerships, families and inclusion, and family engagement in early learning and literacy.
Community Schools Forum
Community Schools: The Engine of Opportunity (April 9-11, 2014)
This theme reflects the Coalitions commitment to equal opportunity for all students. We believe that community schools, with their deep and sustained partnerships between schools and community resources, are the “engine” that will prepare our young people to succeed.
This Forum comes at a key moment in time. There is a growing awareness and discussion of the importance of student engagement in learning, and the influence of non-school factors, including poverty on student achievement.
