National Webinar Series | The Engagement Advantage: Lessons from a Multi-Year Study on Family Engagement
April 21 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Dr. Eyal Bergman, in partnership with Learning Heroes, recently released “The Engagement Advantage,” the culminating report of a rigorous multi-year study on family engagement. In the first stage, the study found that schools with strong family engagement pre-pandemic experienced far smaller increases in chronic absence post-pandemic, even after controlling for poverty and other community characteristics. In the second stage, it sought to understand why some schools outperform expectations when others in their same community do not – and this session will illuminate the distinguishing factors at Bright Spot Schools. Join NCFL on April 21st to explore the intriguing findings of this study.
