We are one of 12 Statewide Family Engagement Centers in the United States currently funded under the U.S. Department of Education’s Statewide Family Engagement Centers grant. We partner closely with the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement. We selected the National Network of Partnership Schools approach at Johns Hopkins University to be the evidence-based model that we would support with our grant funds. Our Center is being evaluated by an external evaluation company called Melissa Becce Coaching and Evaluation, LLC.
