| Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 | May 2021 released a report on the effectiveness ofStatewide Family Engagement Centers, as a tool to advance narrative for increasing federal resources to enable an SFEC in every state. Over the spring and summer of 2021, NAFSCE co-hosted with the US Department of Education webinars focused on reopening schools, first to the FSCE field (5/21), followed by the USDEs largest webinar to parents (7/21) securing more than 4,000 registrants. In 2022, NAFSCE advanced policy priorities for establishing a federal Office of Family Engagement, as well as theestablishment of a National Parents and Families Engagement Council, both housed at the US Department ofEducation. NAFSCE is a member of advisory groups to both the US Department of Education, as well as theUS Department of Health and Human Services- Administration for Children and Families. In 2022, NAFSCE also advanced what it has entitled the Healing the Growing Divide initiative to constructively address the current national and politically motivated narrative that it states misrepresents family engagement. |

| Part III response or note to any other line in Part III | Part III Line 4a- First AccomplishmentsFamily, School, and Community EngagementThe importance of well-designed Family, School, and Community Engagement (FSCE) in supporting childrens learning from cradle to career is well documented by a growing body of research. Not only does FSCE lead to improved student achievement, it strengthens our schools and communities. Yet the current climate of school reform continues to de-prioritize, if not disregard the importance of engaging families and community. Professionals responsible for this important work frequently are isolated and wear multiple hats. Teachers, who bear a primary responsibility for contact with families, reveal that reaching families is their number one challenge and the area where they feel least prepared. Few national organizations have FSCE as a priority, and those that do, are not designed or positioned to build and strengthen the field.Despite the obstacles, FSCE is increasingly recognized as an essential element of child development programs and a significant lever for school improvement and efforts to reduce the achievement gap. Taking the next step to broad acceptance and implementation, however, requires a coordinated effort dedicated to transforming the conversation of FSCE, as well as linking and supporting various stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, researchers, and policymakers who are committed to developing effective policies, programs, and practices. The National Association for Family, School, and CommunityEngagement (NAFSCE), founded in September 2014, provides the necessary platform for advancing high impact practices, promoting evidence-based policies, building capacity and leadership in the field, and upholding family, school and community engagement as a core strategy for supporting child development, student achievement, and school improvement. It achieves its goals through a professional membership program, a member online community, various Communities of Practice, 15 webinars annually, robust websites (nafsce.org, famengage.org and family math.org), a resource center containing best practices and policies, as well as virtual and on-site special events including its annually co-hosted National Family Engagement Summit. Based on its 2017-2022 Strategic Framework, NAFSCE is pursuing strategic initiatives that address thesystemic obstacles to the advancement of FSCE policy and practice. These strategic initiatives partner withsome of the premier national education organizations. NAFSCEs State Capacity Building Initiative was inpartnership with the Council for Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), where it has supported 18 StateEducation Agencies (SEAs) in the development of birth through grade 12 family engagement frameworks,including establishment of statewide coalitions to support and sustain the effort. NAFSCEs Family Engagement Pre-service Consortium for Educator Preparation is in partnership with the National Education Association, where the partners completed a national landscape assessment of state policies around family engagement professional development connected to educator licensing requirements. Additional partnersinclude the Council for the Accreditation for Educator Preparation (CAEP), American Association for Colleges in Teacher Preparation (AACTE) and the Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium (MAEC). Seven stateteams comprised of best-practice SEAs and one of their associated best practice Institutes for HigherEducation (IHE) participate in the Consortium and are currently creating the Educator Preparation Framework for Family-School Partnerships, a pre-service family engagement framework, to eventually be piloted at select IHEs. NAFSCE subcontracted the renowned FrameWorks Institute who conducted research regarding current messaging and communication pertaining to FSCE, and offered recommendations for new messaging that supports better understanding by the general public leading to policy advancement. As part of this initiative, in 2018 NAFSCE established the National Alliance for Family Engagement, comprised of 22 national organizations with a focus on advancing family engagement, and with the goal of planning for andimplementing a national communications campaign. In 2020 it began conducting Reframing Institutes, primarily within states and in 2021 developed and currently implementing online Reframing Academies, to build capacity of stakeholders around effective FSCE messaging. Finally, in 2020 NAFSCE was awarded with the funding to establish what it has entitled its Center for Family Math (CFM). It hired its inaugural Director in 2021 and completed a strategic plan and branding for the center and its work in 2022. NAFSCE has made significant progress in its goal for sustained impact and growth as a young organization.In the past seven years, NAFSCE officially spun off as a not-for-profit association, completed a comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement initiative resulting in a strategic plan and aligned business plan, raised more than $11 million, secured over 1,500 paid individual and organizational members, and as mentioned above, is implementing strategic and systemic initiatives to transform FSCE policy and practice. The association continues to make marked progress in diversifying its revenue through foundation grants, contracts, corporate sponsorships, conference fees and member dues. NAFSCE continues to build the capacity of its organization. In its seventh year following its spin-off as a 501(c)(3) organization in September 2015, NAFSCE currently has 7 full time staff members: Vito Borrello- Executive Director (9/14); Reyna Hernandez- Senior Director of Research and Policy Development (6/18); Sherri Wilson- Senior Director of Engagement and State Partnerships (9/19); Fred Ji- Manager of Communications (5/21); Eugenio Longoria Saenz- Director of Family Math (10/21); Shonda Andrews- Director of Strategic Communications (1/22); Shawn Harris- Director of Finance and Operations (5/22). It is currently recruiting for two additional positions as follows: Director of Public Policy and Advocacy, and Coordinator of Programs and Operations, with both expected to be hired by December 2022. The Association also engages consultants, including Margaret Caspe- Senior Research Consultant, who provides expertise in advancing NAFSCEs Pre-service Consortium as well as its Credentialing work. Additionally, NAFSCE hosts paid graduate student-level fellows and paid interns annually and launched a volunteer Ambassador program comprised of select members to support member engagement and retention. NAFSCE greatly enhanced its online presence with an expanded website and members-only online community, built on the Association management platform, Your Membership, and the Higher Logic engagement platform. Online programming has expanded through ongoing implementation and improved overall experience of its monthly webinar series, monthly Community of Practice meetings, and Professional Learning Communities and themed convenings. NAFSCE elevated its outreach through increasing its listserve from 1,700 to over 32,000 addresses, through a monthly blog, and online newsletter (with current readership exceeding 10,000 stakeholders) entitled NAFSCE News. NAFSCE has also increased its policy presence. The Association had a strong presence in the development of the USDE/HHS Interagency Policy Board Family Engagement Statement from the Early Years through the Early Grades; through testimony prior to the draft statement, then through written feedback on the draft, and finally through engaging the USDE in a webinar to NAFSCE stakeholders (April 2016) explaining the process and opportunities provided through the approved statement. The Association provided written comments on the Head Start Program Performance Standards in summer 2015. NAFSCE also provided a strong presence as it relates to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), through presenting at a USDE Regional Conference in Washington, DC (January 2016), through written feedback regarding non-regulatoryguidance for the legislation (January 2016), followed by an April 2016 webinar explaining the potential impact of this legislation to family engagement. In 2018, NAFSCE advocated for increased Afterschool Program funding, federal appropriations for Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFECs), followed by providing feedback to the US Department of Education in support of language to be provided in SFEC requests for proposals. Since late 2018, it provides technical assistance through subcontracts with four of the SFECs and through a Professional Development Series to all SFECs (in collaboration with the National Center for Families Learning). Most recently, in August 2020, NAFSCE released recommendations on School Re-opening in addressing COVID-19 and in May 2021 released a report on the effectiveness of Statewide Family Engagement Centers, as a |
