Today is the deadline: effective family engagement practices 


 If you are interested in submitting comments to the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services on a draft policy statement on the implementation of “effective family engagement practices from the early years to the early grades,” today is the deadline. Following is the draft policy statement, and you can e-mail comments to ECD@acf.hhs.gov. You can learn more here.




This is from the Education Department website about the draft policy:
It is the Departments’ position that strong family engagement is central in promoting children’s healthy development and wellness, including:
•social-emotional and behavioral development;
•preparing children for school;
•seamlessly transitioning them to kindergarten; and
•supporting academic achievement in elementary school and beyond.
