Unlock the Power of Family Engagement for Student Success

New Benchmark Study Reveals Key Strategies & Insights

How Can Schools & Districts Improve Family Engagement?

For years, TalkingPoints has been at the forefront of family-school partnerships, helping educators bridge communication gaps and drive student achievement. Our latest Benchmark Survey 2024, conducted in partnership with Edge Research, uncovers best practices, challenges, and actionable insights for high-impact family engagement.

Key Findings:

  • Family engagement is underutilized – Only a fraction of schools rate their efforts as highly effective.
  • Digital engagement is rising – Hybrid strategies improve participation and accessibility.
  • Time & language barriers persist – Educators and families need better tools
  • Leadership accountability is unclear – Districts need clear ownership of engagement efforts.
  • Professional development is lacking – Many educators receive little to no training in family engagement best practices.
  • Why It Matters

    Research shows strong family-school partnerships lead to higher student performance, better attendance, and improved well-being. But many schools lack the right strategies and tools to make engagement seamless and effective.
