The Carolina Family Engagement Center aims to help families engage in effective school-family-community partnerships and in their children’s learning using evidence-based practices linked to improved achievement and development. CFEC will also work with families in their role as informed participants in decisions regarding their children’s education and in the development of school, district, and state policies, plans, and programs.

CFEC Regional Liaisons will work with some 24 schools statewide for four years beginning in fall 2019 to develop, implement, and evaluate individualized school family engagement plans that support existing school climate and student achievement goals.

National Network of Partnership Schools

The Carolina Family Engagement Center has engaged with the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University through many of our school partners since 2018. Our involvement with NNPS provides partner schools and districts with the highest quality, research-based support for the development of strong and productive connections between schools, families, and communities. Research indicates that learners are most successful when their families and communities are supportive of and involved in the work of the schools.
