​Most platforms solve for communication.
We focus on what families actually receive.

​We're exploring how instructional family engagement can be embedded into the communication tools that schools and districts already use, and what it takes for that content to connect to learning.
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

​Who we partner with.

Platform Partners
Our current platform partnerships are research and learning collaborations. We're working together to understand what it takes for instructional family engagement to function well inside existing communication and learning tools — not just reach families, but connect to learning.
  • ​Testing how content performs in real delivery contexts
  • Learning what supports educators' implementation
  • Studying how families engage with learning-focused communication
​Districts and Schools
FASTalk is delivered through the platforms you already use. We work with district and school leaders to build the implementation conditions that make family engagement actually work — not just launch, but sustain.
  • Implementation support through your existing platform, or direct delivery
  • Educator professional development on instructional family engagement
  • Implementation infrastructure assessment and systems design
  • Research participation with access to findings and evidence
​Funders & Researchers
The field needs independent, cross-platform evidence that connects family engagement to learning outcomes. Family Engagement Lab is positioned to build it — and we welcome partnerships with funders and researchers who share that goal.
  • Joint research design and evidence generation
  • Field-building publications and convenings
  • Implementation science consulting and insight translation
  • Cohort initiatives and collective impact work
HOW WE WORK

​Active learning with a small number of partners.

we're building shared understanding of what works. Each partnership is a genuine collaboration, not a product deployment.
  • Content in context - We test how instructional family engagement content actually performs when delivered through real platforms — not in controlled conditions, but in the contexts families and educators already live in.
  • Educator Implementation - We study what supports educators in sending learning-focused communication consistently and what gets in the way. That knowledge shapes both content and platform design.
  • Family Engagement - We look carefully at how families engage with content that connects to learning — not just open rates, but what it takes for a message to become a moment of engagement at home.

Interested in exploring this together?

We're actively learning with a small number of partners. If you're interested in exploring this work together — whether you're a platform, district, or researcher — we'd love to connect.
