Family engagement to boost student learning 

Research shows that parental involvement in at-home learning has more than twice the effect on student test scores than parents’ education levels or socio-economic status. When family engagement is a targeted strategy to reinforce high-quality curriculum and instruction, student learning accelerates.​

Case Study: LA Department of Education (LDOE)

Family Engagement Lab began its partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) in the 2018-2019 school year to  bring FASTalk and its at-home ELA learning activities to families, schools, and districts across the state with a focus on supporting the education of, and improving results for, students with disabilities. Since that time, Family Engagement Lab has continued to work with LDOE as well as build direct relationships with school systems across the state.

FASTalk text messaging tool improves literacy outcomes
​After 8 weeks of ELA Guidebook-aligned messages, FASTalk students in Baton Rouge, LA had statistically significant higher spring literacy assessment scores than non-FASTalk peers, despite starting the year scoring behind. With FASTalk, students made 2.6x the literacy gains of similar non-FASTalk students.
