Increasing Family Engagement with Seesaw

This school improvement plan was developed to increase family engagement using technology within an elementary classroom in a public school district. Research has shown that family engagement can positively impact student achievement. Within a school, it is important that responsibility is shared between parents and teachers and a trusting relationship is developed in order to support student growth and achievement. Existing research on family engagement and the use of technology contributed to the improvement plan. The main components of this improvement plan include creating the communication tool, Seesaw with families, and involving families in their student’s daily school learning activities at school and at home.
