This is a toolkit of Resources for Engaging Families and Community as Partners in Education for school staff. Included are resources to build relationships with families and community members and to support family well-being, strong parent-child relationships, and students’ ongoing learning and development. Originally developed for the Guam Alliance for Family and Community Engagement in Education, the Toolkit is based on information from a variety of sources that address engagement in diverse communities. 

The four parts of the Toolkit are:

1. Part 1: Building an understanding of family and community engagement
2. Part 2: Building a cultural bridge
3. Part 3: Building trusting relationships with families and community through effective communication
4. Part 4: Engaging families and community members in data conversations

REL Pacific – Regional Educational Laboratory Program created this Family Engagement Toolkit.
