The Tellin’ Stories Race, Equity, and Family Engagement Summer Institutes will teach participants to apply an asset-based lens to family engagement that is grounded in popular education, community organizing, racial equity, and family engagement research.

The summer institutes are based on the yearlong Tellin’ Stories Race, Equity, and Family Engagement Seminar and draw from research and in-school experience.

Summer institute topics will include:

  • Racism, Classism, and Equity Literacy: Building Context for Families’ Experiences with School

  • Building Relationships and Meeting Families Where They Are

  • Connecting Family Engagement to Academic Success

  • Community Organizing Lessons for Educators

  • Learning and Applying the Research on High Impact Family Engagement
