Description
The Futures Task Force on Family—School Partnerships has been active in establishing and achieving three primary goals: (a) identifying evidence-based family—school partnership models; (b) promoting school psychologists' efforts to ensure that families are integral partners in education; and (c) encouraging training to promote school psychologists' roles in family—school partnerships. This workshop will present the work of the task force. Extensive instruction and hands-on, take-home materials (PowerPoints, handouts, videos) for practitioners and trainers will be provided to position school psychologists as leaders in promoting effective family—school connections. Specific uses for both preservice graduate coursework and inservice practice arenas will be discussed.
