Conference: National Community Schools and Family Engagement – June 7-9, 2023
“The Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) is proud to host the 2023 National Community Schools and Family Engagement Conference in Philadelphia from June 7-9, 2023. This national conference brings together people from across the country who believe all children deserve a safe place to live and opportunities to learn and thrive. Inspired by our theme: Spreading Love & Supporting All Children, the conference is designed to catalyze collaboration, action, and a renewed commitment to transforming our practices, partnerships and systems.
At this conference, over 3,000 participants will engage in an abundance of learning and networking opportunities designed to increase their knowledge of family engagement and Community Schools, sharpen their skillsets to lead collaboratively, and implement effective strategies. It takes all of us working tougher, at every level, to successfully engage families and strengthen family-school-community partnerships that eliminate inequities of access and opportunity and co-create a new normal. Regardless of your role in the eco-system (parent and youth leaders; school and district leaders; community organizers and union activists; elected officials; Community School coordinators and initiative leaders; education, justice and health system professionals; early childhood educators; university partners; disability advocates; researchers; and more), this conference is for you!”
Each year, our Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center team attends this conferences and often presents about our work. We hope to see you there!
