Did you know that Scholastic has an education blog? edu@scholastic is where talk all about education and learning, which can includes new books, current trends in education and also—my favorite—inspiring stories from teachers, principals, and district leaders about what's happening in their school communities.
We've published a lot of terrific posts about family & community engagement, which research shows improves student learning.
The first is my favorite; it's from a school principal who had a truly eye-opening experience when she did her first family engagement assessment (spoiler: she wasn't doing as well as she thought she was doing!).
