Parent Engagement Information and Tools: Moving Beyond
Parent Involvement to Parent Engagement
Michigan’s educators are among the best in the world and when
the state, school districts, schools and parents unite to
support one goal: to help Michigan’s children succeed, great
progress can happen. Today, with new federal mandates, including
annual testing and adequate yearly progress, increasing student
achievement is more important than ever before. To continue the
Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and State Board of
Education’s commitment to increasing student achievement, we
have developed a wide range of information and resources to
assist districts and schools in their parent engagement efforts.
Our first information packet is designed to support districts in
the development, assessment, and implementation of parent
engagement policies, programs and plans. Additional packets of
parent engagement information on topics dealing with school
environment, communications and engagement activities will be
released during the first quarter of 2005.
We invite you to review, utilize, reproduce, and share these
materials and tools and hope they serve as a meaningful
resource. View the draft document at:
