The research is clear: partnering with families improves educational outcomes. But how can we make that happen with all the other things that schools – and families – have on their plates? 

The Association of Alaska School Boards has launched the Alaska Family Engagement Center and a weekly Family Friday Spotlight to showcase how schools across Alaska are finding easy and innovative ways to link families to learning.
