Resource Guide: Make Transformative Parental Engagement a Reality

During the 21-22 school year, 80 participants from 32 DCSC member schools gathered in our Communities of Practice (CoP) to develop resources for the field of diverse-by-design education practitioners.  

Connect as leaders. Grow expertise. Bring justice to education.

Integrated schools include communities of parents, caregivers, and families across lines of race and class. Deb Hanmer led a Community of Practice of both practitioners and parents of DCSC member school communities with the goal of building bridges and sharing power to better support a diverse student and parent population. This was the first Community of Practice in DCSC history that invited parents from a member’s community to join on their journey to actualize inclusive parent and community engagement in intentionally diverse schools.
