  • Children do best in learning environments where teachers, families and community members share the responsibility for student success. Our report, “Cultivating A Community of Champions for Children: Through Transformative Family Engagement,” explores how family engagement can address the distrust between communities of color and their children’s schools and form bonds that can transform learning. From 2014-2017, WKKF funded 30 programs in 17 states and tribal nations, as well as the District of Columbia, to explore transformative and effective ways to operationalize family engagement, and to strengthen and enrich partnerships between families and schools.
