Collaborating with Families

In this 4 1/2-minute video, educators talk about making connections with families from enrollment, through conferences, sharing observations, daily conversations, and meetings. Educators cover engaging parents in their child's learning, the importance of families as the child's first teacher and gathering observations and information from the families. Clips of educators and children in the classroom as well as educators interacting with families are shown throughout the interviews.

EarlyEdU Alliance courses were developed with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Office of Head Start.
