What others have said about Livingtree's family engagement trainings
Every school struggles with family engagement and if you’re like us, we aren’t sure exactly what to target to make improvements because it is overwhelming. After attending today I feel like we can take on the challenge...in bits and pieces slowly over time without adding anything new.
Anna Sell
Principal
This was such a great opportunity for us to collaborate, we had a chance to learn new ideas, highly effective strategies for increasing student achievement, and we are excited to explore more with Livingtree.
Jessica Stein
Family Engagement Coordinator
After spending the day I’m realizing that I actually learned a lot of new ways and ideas, and kind of a whole general philosophy of how to help my families be more excited and engaged in their kids’ learning
Jan
Kindergarten Teacher
Today, 3 days before our families came in, my entire staff feels so confident about ways to connect with families and I think we now have purpose and intention in looking at ways we connect with families that we would not have gotten had we just bought technology.

Better Professional Learning for Today's Teachers, Leaders, and Family Ambassadors
Empower Schools to Engage Families in Student Learning
This isn't just about research and principles. Livingtree's professional development prepares staff to use effective practices that engage families as a core component of your school or district, featuring:
- Training that meets the needs of today's online environment.
- Course curriculums tailored to individual staff roles.
- Asynchronous learning so that staff can confidently learn at their own pace, anywhere, anytime.
- Data and course reporting so that administrators can track specific learning and progress.
Overcome Critical Barriers to Family Engagement
Sometimes family engagement feels like an insurmountable task - schools often struggle with implementing family engagement as a core practice, or they lack sufficient knowledge and training among their staff about how the research translates into practice. Livingtree's professional development prepares schools to overcome these barriers.
Family engagement isn’t truly effective until it becomes a core component of the school, instead of an add-on or temporary initiative. Staff learn to apply authentic family engagement practices as a Community of Practice.
Make Family Engagement a Core Practice
Prepare all Staff to Effectively Engage Families
Provide Tailored Training and Practical Strategies
Teacher pre-service lacks thorough family engagement training, leaving teachers without knowledge of best practice. Schools and districts can efficiently train all staff to engage families.
Family engagement training options are limited, and often only cover the research and principles. Teachers, leaders, and family ambassadors can finally participate in training tailored to their role and learn how to apply best practices.
