81. Family Engagement Core Values
1) All parents have dreams for their children and want
the best for them.
2) All parents have the capacity to support their
children's learning.
3) Parents and school staff should be equal partners.
4) The responsibility for building partnerships
between school and home rests primarily with
school staff, especially school leaders.

82. Findings
" School principals are responsible
" Limited leadership preparation for using social media
tools
" Tools offer two-way communication by default
" Tools offer direct and immediate access to principal
" Educational “branding” occurs
83. Findings (cont.)
" Learning community can communicate in the same
conversation without being in the same room
" A true depth of how many parents utilized social media tools
to support teaching and learning is unclear
" One size does not fit all. There is a single “one tool” that all
parents use. Various “preferences” came from parents at
each of the schools studied.
84. Findings (cont.)
" Schools used social media tools to recognize,
announce, solicit feedback, remind, build relationships
and engage learning community directly and indirectly
connected to school.
" Above all, parents seek face to face, two-way
communications with respect to eye contact, tone,
empathy, respect
" Social media tools aimed to complement family
engagement efforts already in place by three schools,
not replace them.
85. Implications for Practice
It’s not about the technology
" Focus on embedding core beliefs of school, family and
community partnerships before engaging social media tools.
" How school and parent leaders can go about entering the
world of social media to engage families and the community.
86. It’s not about the tools, but the
relationships
“Technology should be like oxygen;
ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible.”
@ChrisLehmann
#fceconf14
87. Implications for Practice (cont.)
Capacity Building
" Need for University and school-based professional
development for school leaders on school, family and
community partnerships.
" Need for professional development for school leaders,
educators, parents and other learning community members
on use of social media tools
88. Implications for Practice (cont.)
One Size Does Not Fit All
" Access, home use and training needs should be identified
consistently; Per district, per school, per class.
" Schools must identify which tools work best, and which tools
parents already depend on in their personal lives. Build a “menu
of communication offerings” to “meet parents where they are.”
