Incorporating Family Engagement Into California School District Accountability Plans
Abstract
Under a new policy, California school districts are responsible for articulating their plans to address student needs in eight priority areas, including family engagement in support of student learning. This chapter reviews accountability plans for 15 culturally and regionally diverse California school districts by aligning their approaches to family engagement with key culturally responsive strategies identified in the literature. Districts report using multiple approaches to engage families, but there is not strong evidence of teacher professional development in support of culturally responsive practices. Metrics to track family engagement outcomes are limited. Most districts track family participation at school events or response rates to family surveys, neither of which allows for an analysis of opportunities for engagement. More sophisticated family engagement systems are needed to assess the success of engaging family members in culturally appropriate and effective ways that improve student educational outcomes.
