Much of IEL's work focuses on family engagement. The programs here focus specifically on developing parents and family members as leaders in their communities and children's schools.
Parent Leaders and Advocates
Through the Family and Community Engagement Network, IEL works with local communities to develop and implement capacity-building activities that strengthen the key roles parents and families play in their child's educational success: decision-maker and supporter of learning; school/community partner; and advocate for school/community improvement.
