COVID-19 Guidance: Family School Engagement Resources, Best Practices and Considerations

The Iowa Department of Education COVID-19 Guidance: Family School Engagement Resources, Best Practices, and Considerations provides educators with ideas and resources for positively and proactively engaging students and their families/caregivers during times of prolonged school closure due to a large-scale emergency, such as the current coronavirus pandemic. These situations can put additional pressure on already-vulnerable children, youth and families, making meaningful connections with others all the more important. All current guidance and past PowerPoint presentations from the Department of Education are included on their COVID-19 Guidance and Information webpage. In addition, recordings of previous Zoom sessions can be found on their YouTube channel.
