  1. Family Engagement

  2. Using Families as a Resource “Shifting out thinking away from deficits. . . and learning more strengths and connections. . .How can learning about families and their strengths lead to more culturally relevant teaching? What do families know, and how can schools build on that knowledge” What are my family resources, and how can I share them with my children’s teachers? How can we, together, support student learning by dialogue between home and school that is built on mutual respect?” (Allen, 2007, p. 42)

  3. Keeping Families Informed “I am going to watch every move you make with him. . . I do not want him sitting doing nothing; I want him learning” (Allen, 2007 p. 15)

  4. Finding Realistic and Genuine Ways to Engage Families in Their Children’s Learning “Jeremiah and his family failed this teacher’s expectations for family structure, parental involvement, even acceptable language usage” (Allen, 2007, p. 41) “Building relationships with families means respecting them- their language, values, struggles, insights, culture, and family structure” (Allen, 2007, p. 95)
