Powerful Partnerships— AFT Parent Engagement Toolkit

Public school families and educators are natural allies in the fight for the supports and resources students and schools need to succeed. The AFT is building on efforts across our union—at the national, state and local levels—to engage parents, families and communities in a campaign for public schools that give students a powerful and purposeful education.

The AFT has developed this Parent Engagement Toolkit with resources from AFT and partner organizations to provide some practical help for fostering and strengthening collaborative relationships between union and parent organizations. Here you’ll find practical handouts, trainings and other materials to jumpstart and sustain parent and community engagement.
