The Time Has Come To Awaken Family Engagement In Education

One of the greatest liabilities of history is that too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant, and to face the challenge of change.”

The time has come for those who lead and participate in various efforts to educate, develop, and provide care for children and young people to acknowledge the reality that family engagement is essential to their collective processes. It must also be acknowledged that strong relations must be developed and sustained between educators and parents for powerful levels of engagement to occur.
