Academic Partnering Toolkit for Teachers

Academic partnering is a core component of strong family-school partnerships. Whether through parent-teacher conferences, APTT meetings, student-led conferences, or other formats, these moments offer powerful opportunities for educators to share power, build trust, and support student learning. This toolkit is designed to help educators prepare for and lead meaningful academic conversations with families.

As a system leader, use it to establish district-wide best practices for parent-teacher conferences and equip school leaders and teachers to engage families more effectively.
