Participants will learn how families, schools, and society are interdependent and use this understanding in their relationships with children, colleagues, parents, and the community. Students will discover ways to improve engagement practices, communicate effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse families, and develop partnerships required for academic achievement and transition into adulthood.
