Highly effective schools place meaningful connection between family, community and business at the center of all they do. The practice of regularly listening, learning, and evolving with these collaborators in student success establishes a solid foundation on which all other educational structures can be built and supported throughout the district.
In this workshop, high impact strategies for engaging families in their children’s learning will be discussed, and participants will leave better prepared to create and implement effective plans for meaningful engagement within their own communities.

The Kansas University Center on Developmental Disabilities (KUCDD) has partnered with the Kansas Department of Education (KSDE) on two initiatives designed to build strong community networks for transition and employment in local communities. Building strong networks for interagency collaboration is a key predictor of positive transition and employment outcomes for students in Special Education. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the structure of the community partnerships (Transition Councils and Community Teams) in Kansas and present findings from a project analysis. Over the last year, five communities have established or revitalized Transition Councils to strengthen transition networks in their community. We will also have a panel of Transition Council and Community Team leaders who will highlight outcomes from their partnerships.
