Dr. Epstein – Overlapping Spheres of Influence (Everyone wants Successful Schools and Students)
In this video, Dr. Epstein discusses a framework for school, family, and community partnerships based on six types of involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community. She explains how these types can be organized through an action team for partnerships at the school level, which includes teachers, parents, principal, and sometimes students. She emphasizes the importance of multi-level leadership, from state to district to school levels, and how programs must focus on student learning and development to be effective. She also highlighted the need for equity in engagement and continuous improvement of partnership programs over time.
