For 50 years, the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) has worked with leaders to support the needs of young people and their families. IEL has developed and works regularly with a growing network of over 100 school district Family & Community Engagement (FCE) leaders. Additionally, IEL works with teacher leaders, parent advocates and a broad-based group of community partners to improve FCE as a key strategy to improve teacher quality. IEL wil provide content to #PTChat and link this social media platform to our national network of family engagement practitioners.
