Hosted by Roots of Inclusion
Event Description:
Schools often find themselves stuck when trying to move from engagement to true partnerships with families and communities. Time is limited, previous strategies are not working anymore, and the education landscape is ever evolving.

Join us as we explore tools and resources designed for and with Washington school teams to build, repair and strengthen partnerships with families.
 
Through this 60-minute session, we will:
- Introduce the Community Conversation Toolkit
- Share professional development resources and strategies for fostering belonging in school communities
- Explore fact sheets, trainings, and resources you can use and share with families
This webinar has been developed for school leaders, educators, family advocates, and community partners. 
Accessibility:​
  • Live captioning provided. Multiple ways to engage (chat, polls, reactions).​
