Event Details

The National Association of Family, School and Community Engagement (NAFSCE) has created a
new framework for integrating family engagement content into preservice education. This
framework was created with teams of educators from seven states, including Hawai‘i, over a
little more than two years with input from administrators, teachers, and family and community
members. We would like to share the framework with you, including the process of creating it,
and some ideas of how to use it in your courses. This Brown Bag is pertinent to all of the
stakeholders mentioned above (teacher educators, teachers, administrators, families and
community members).

This event is virtual. RSVP to receive the link.
