Engaging families and communities, as described in Danielson Domain 4c, is important in my classroom because it builds strong partnerships that support student learning and well-being. When families are involved and informed, students feel more supported and motivated to succeed. I strive to maintain open, respectful communication and involve families in their child’s educational journey through updates, conferences, and collaborative activities. Connecting with the broader community also enriches learning by bringing in diverse perspectives and real-world experiences. These relationships help create a supportive network that fosters academic success and a sense of belonging for every student. Below are major examples that are handed to families during the beginning of the year and for back to school night for students' families.
