Mark your calendar for the 2025 National Assembly for Family Engagement in Education

The 2025 National Assembly in New Orleans, Louisiana will bring together educators, practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and funders to share experiences, learn best practices, build their capacity, and network with each other as we pursue a world where family engagement is universally practiced as an essential strategy to improving children’s learning and advancing equity. 

For all who claim family and community engagement as their calling; for all who partner in the name of student learning and development; for all who are advancing policies and best practices; for all whose practice falls within and outside the walls of the classroom, we look forward to seeing you in New Orleans.
