Our Program

Advancing Meaningful Family-School Engagement
The Louisiana Statewide Family Engagement Center (LA-SFEC), led by The Center for Literacy & Learning, works alongside local community partners to develop and implement a systemic, family-engaged infrastructure that improves student outcomes, empowers and supports families to implement at-home learning strategies and increases the capacity of local education agencies and schools to implement high-quality family engagement plans that are responsive to the diverse needs of learners in the state. The LA-SFEC’s goal is to provide a toolkit of evidence-based family engagement supports to increase students’ overall learning success.

".... I had the opportunity to attend "Understanding Diverse Learners: Exploring Opportunities for Multilingual Students ", a very insightful session hosted by the National Association of Educational Translators and Interpreters of Spoken Languages together with the Louisiana Statewide Family Engagement Center. As an educator and translator, conversations like these are essential for anyone working with diverse student populations."
