Family & Community Partnership Network Meetings

​​​​​​​​​​ face-mtg.jpg

Family & Community Partnership (FCP) Network meetings include time to network with counterparts, speaker presentations on "hot topics," and time to share community ​resources. A needs assessment is conducted at each meeting to plan for future agendas that are relevant to our members.

 
​Wframe our meetings within Joyce Epstein’s Keys to Successful School-Family-Community Partnerships, a research-based framework of the Six Types of Involvement to help build authentic family engagement. Schools and districts complete an assessment of their own to identify areas of strengths and opportunities using the six types as follows:

Type​​ 1. Parenting​​​​​​​

Type 3. Volunteering

Type 4. Learning at Home

Type 5. Decision Making
Include families as participants in school decisions, governance, and advocacy through the PTA/PTO, school councils, committees, action teams, and other parent organizations.​

Type 6. Collaborating with the Community
Coordinate community resources and services for students, families, and the school with businesses, agencies, and other groups, and provide services to the community.​​

At previous meetings, guest speakers have been featured from OCDE, Parenting Partners, California PTA, Families and Communities Together (FaCT), Orange County Health Care Agency, and more. If you are interested in sharing your resources at a FCP Network meeting, please contact Janis Price at jprice​​@ocde.us.
