Evidence-based family engagement Developed by educational researchers, is an evidence-based family engagement curriculum delivered via text messages. Each week, parents and caregivers receive fun facts and easy tips on how to promote their children’s development by building on existing family routines – like pointing out letters on the cereal box at breakfast, counting the number of steps as you walk to the car or bus, or making feeling faces in the mirror after you brush your teeth. In a series of randomized controlled trials, this approach has been shown to increase child development by 2 to 3 months over the course of a school year. The dashboard, teacher newsletters, family engagement surveys, and end-of-year impact reports complement the core curriculum, enabling organizations to connect the home to school, link families to vital resources in the community, and measure their impact. Our tools, which now include Trauma-Informed and Personalized Learning, support the whole child from birth through 4th grade in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Arabic.
