Parents and Community Engagement
Standard 5: Parents and Community Engagement
Principals engage parents and community members in the educational process and create an environment where community resources support student learning, achievement and well being. |
Narrative Summary
Schools are highly effective when principals understand how the dynamics of their communities influence their schools and how schools influence the community in ways that improve student learning. Principals promote culturally responsive practices, which value and acknowledge diversity. The opinions of all stakeholders are respected and there is a commitment to involving students, parents and community members in making decisions. Principals involve family members in ways that are meaningful and directly related to student learning. Effective schools are the heart of the community and collaboration benefits both the school and the community. Partnerships and linkages with community agencies (e.g. social service, mental health agencies, businesses, libraries and civic organizations) are used in innovative ways to meet a variety of student and community needs.
