What does a family engagement facilitator do?
Family Engagement Facilitator
The Family Engagement Facilitator is responsible for providing support and serves as a liaison for the school, students, and parents. The facilitator monitors student academics, attendance and tardiness, identifies students that may be at-risk, conducts home visits, and refers parents to appropriate public assistance and community organizations. The facilitator also helps schedule parent and student meetings and conferences, family sessions as needed, and provides translation. The facilitator has a flexible schedule to help facilitate parent involvement in student educational activities and to perform home visits for family outreach. The Family Engagement Facilitator is distinguished from Family Mentors or ELL Support Program & Support Technicians in that they engage the entire school community to provide additional student support, including but not limited to English Language Learners, Low Income Students, and Foster Youth.
