Schools and families share the same goal: helping students thrive. But without the right skills, tools, and opportunities to connect, meaningful collaboration can be hard to achieve.
This webinar invites participants to reimagine school-family partnerships in 2025 and beyond. Panelists will highlight ways districts and schools are shifting from traditional one-way outreach to build deeper, more meaningful partnerships with families, particularly in the context of learning initiatives such as high-impact tutoring.
Drawing from Family & Caregiver Toolkits developed by the National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA) and Innovate Public Schools, as well as from stories from parent organizers, design thinkers, and education leaders, panelists will share real-world examples of what it looks like when families help shape the work, not just respond to it.
School and district leaders will leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, and new ways to invite families into the heart of student success.
Panelists:
- Jacqueline Castillo Blaber, Parent Activist & Member, NSSA Family and Caregiver Tutoring Advisory Group
- Yu-Ling Cheng, Director, Parents as Allies
- Jeremy Hilinski, Principal, Bret Harte Elementary School, San Francisco Unified School District
- Michelle Vilchez, CEO, Innovate Public Schools
- Lauren Ziegler, Managing Director, National Student Support Accelerator, Stanford University (moderator)
