Homeroom with Education Leaders | Changing the Narrative for Effective Parent and Family Engagement

As the pandemic continues to exacerbate and extend issues in education, topics such as critical race theory and masking have dominated headlines.

Join us for a conversation in partnership with the National Parents Union around how education systems can appropriately leverage parent engagement to transform education for the better.
