What is a Family Education Plan?

A Family Education Plan is a framework to achieve successful life-long learning, the outcome of which will strengthen and enrich the overall well-being of the family. 

This program is intended to be a hands-on support to assist parents as they pursue a continuum of learning, develop parental leadership, and fulfill their important responsibility as their child’s first teacher and educational advocate.

The Family Education Plan is rooted in the belief that:

The most adequate predictor of student success in school is not family income or social status but the extent to which a student’s family is involved. 

(Anne Henderson and Nancy Berla, A New Generation of Evidence.)
