Beliefs In order to support all students' achievement, we believe: All Parents Have Dreams for Their Children and Want the Best for Them All Parents Have the Capacity to Support Their Children’s Learning Parents and School Staff Should Be Equal Partners The Responsibility for Building Partnerships Between School and Home Rests Primarily with School Staff, Especially School Leaders 'Beyond the Bake Sale' by Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp, Vivian R. Johnson, and Don Davies Terrance Jordan Director of School Leadership and F.A.C.E. tejordan@sps186.org 217-525-3027 1900 W. Monroe Our dream... The Dual Capacity 2.0 Based on existing research and best practices, the Dual Capacity-Building Framework for Family-School Partnerships (Version 2) is designed to support the development of family engagement strategies, policies, and programs. It is not a blueprint for engagement initiatives, which must be designed to fit the particular contexts in which they are carried out. Instead, the Framework should be seen as a compass, laying out the goals and conditions necessary to chart a path toward effective family engagement efforts that are linked to student achievement and school improvement.
