< Back Pennsylvania Family Engagement Birth through College, Career, Community Ready Framework Pennsylvania Family Engagement Birth through College, Career, Community Ready Framework From: Secretary Pedro A. Rivera, Department of Education Secretary Teresa D. Miller, Department of Human Services Date: December 2, 2019 Subject: Pennsylvania Family Engagement Birth through College, Career, Community Ready Framework The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is pleased to unveil the Pennsylvania Family Engagement Birth through College, Career, Community Ready Framework. This “framework” is a collaborative initiative between PDE’s Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) and Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and includes Family Engagement resources and information for local education agencies (LEAs) aligned with The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The framework is a tool to guide learning communities in the implementation of effective practices, use of shared language, and application of a family engagement continuum for families across their child’s educational lifespan. Pennsylvania’s Birth through College Career Community Ready Framework Purpose: Effective family engagement, beginning with early learning programs through K12, are important to support a child’s learning and development. The framework fosters a clear path and identifies a set of common standards of how learning communities can plan and implement family engagement practice. Audience: Many members of Pennsylvania’s learning communities can employ this framework. A learning community is defined as programs and schools to which PDE, including the OCDEL and OESE, provide funding, guidance, and monitoring. It also includes LEAs, such as school districts and associated community partners. Goal: Research has demonstrated that regardless of the socioeconomic background when schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children perform better academically, enjoy school more, remain in school longer, and have better long-term outcomes such as higher graduation rates and improved postsecondary educational attainment and career readiness. Additionally, PDE is collaborating with the Mid Atlantic Equity Consortium (MAEC) to launch a new state family engagement center - the Collaborative Action for Family Engagement Center (CAFE) - which is an online resource to provide opportunities for collaboration, learning, and to promote high-impact, culturally responsive family engagement. CAFE will serve diverse families who reside in Pennsylvania. More information on CAFE is forthcoming. More information on family engagement and the framework can be found on PDE’s website .
