With an eye toward continuous improvement and career development, HFRP provides research-based teacher preparation and professional development resources and training tools for teachers, administrators, professional development specialists, community-based practitioners, faculty, and policymakers.

We seek to build national capacity for partnerships between families, schools, and communities in order to improve children's learning and school success. By focusing on teacher preparation and professional development, we intend to foster the family engagement skills of teachers and community-based practitioners. Our resources can also be used in workshops for families or with practitioners and families together.
