Below you will find a list of school-based FACE Action Coordinators
Coordinators support school FACE teams and their efforts in fostering a welcoming and trusting school environment and implementing high-impact family engagement strategies. High-impact family and community engagement is collaborative, culturally competent, and focused on improving children’s learning. Some examples of high-impact strategies are:
- Building personal relationships, respect, and mutual understanding with families through home visits, community walks, and class meetings
- Sharing data with families about student skill levels
- Listening to families about their children’s interests and challenges, then using this information to differentiate instruction.
- Aligning family engagement activities with school improvement goals
