Family Engagement Framework: Connect Communities
Connecting communities is about mobilizing all available resources to meet
the needs of the whole child in support of lifelong learning. Community, by
definition, is sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
Communities can be:
groups of people - peers - such as students or families
groups such as tribal nations, nonprofits, organizations, and
corporations
Community partnerships should be based on mutual trust and respect and ensure all partners benefit from the collaboration. Together - as a community - we can connect available resources to meet the needs of children and families.
