Studying the Bright Spots: A New Approach to Parent Engagement with Shaka Mitchell
Description
On today's episode of Your Morning Boost, we welcome back special guest, Shaka Mitchell, a senior fellow with the American Federation for Children. Following up on yesterday's discussion about "the goal of the goal," Shaka now introduces a new leverage point for school leaders: "studying the bright spots." He challenges the common educational practice of focusing on what isn't working and instead encourages listeners to identify and analyze areas where parent engagement is already thriving. Shaka provides actionable advice, such as looking at successful community organizations like the YMCA and connecting with other schools that excel at family engagement. He emphasizes that sharing ideas and replicating successful conditions can lead to powerful, school-wide improvements. Tune in for more insights on building a strong and engaged school community.
