III-C: Sharing Responsibility

1. Collaboration on Student Learning and Well-Being: Provides educators with professional learning, feedback, and support to partner with families on students' learning and well-being by:

   • Leveraging families' cultural and linguistic knowledge and expertise as assets

   • Engaging families in dialogue about what students are learning in the classroom and expectations for student success.

   • Collaboratively identifying, and seeking feedback on, strategies and resources for supporting student learning and growth in and out of school.

2. Family Support: Works to ensure that all families understand and have opportunities to inform district and school-based policies and resources that support student learning and well-being by:

   • Supporting families to engage with policies, resources, and routines such as parent teacher organizations, school-site councils, parent advisory councils (e.g., ELPAC and SEPAC), child study/intervention teams, IEP referral processes, ESL supports, and student attendance policies.

   • Setting clear expectations regarding how specialized support staff should partner with families in accessing support services within and outside of school, and monitors adherence to these policies.
