ANet is a nonprofit dedicated to the premise that every child in America deserves an excellent education and the opportunities it provides. We pursue our vision of educational equality in America by helping schools boost student learning with great teaching that is grounded in standards, informed by data, and built on the successful practices of educators around the country.

ANet Family Reports help teachers engage parents in student academic success

Blog

As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, our primary concern is helping ensure equitable opportunity for all students.

Working alongside schools, we’ve learned that great teaching is grounded in standards, data, and insights shared among educators. We believe a blog can help us make a difference by spreading the ideas and effective practices of educators we work with.

We’re proud of the expertise our team has built over our ten years, and we'll be featuring contributions from ANetters across the org on topics in which they’ve immersed themselves.

Help us spread opportunity for all students: please share posts that you find valuable with your colleagues. And please add your thoughts in the comments: we would love this blog to facilitate knowledge-sharing in all directions.

ANet Family Reports help teachers engage parents in student academic success

Kate Shanahan

Parents have taken on many aspects of the education process throughout the COVID-19 shutdown, but a gap exists between the level of communication parents want from schools and what they have received. Parent engagement systems, particularly in communities of color and those with income inequalities, have historically fallen short.

Schools that center on equity help bring parents alongside teachers as partners. They do not let a lack of access to technology to be used as an excuse for poor family engagement. We know parents need “bite sized,” concrete, and actionable information that allows them to help their children make academic progress.

Below, you’ll find examples of ANet family reports in math and ELA that show families the specific successes and challenges their child is facing. More importantly, these reports show ways the family can help the student tackle challenge areas, including free resources. These reports can be printed for families that don't have access to online technology, and they are available in both English and Spanish.
