Tips for Administrators, Teachers, and Families: How to Share Data Effectively

Click here to join Family Involvement Network of Educators (FINE)

Effective family engagement strategies include providing families with accessible, understandable, and actionable data on their child’s learning and growth. Data sharing helps families gain a comprehensive understanding of their child’s strengths, interests, and challenges, and also helps families identify action steps to help advance the child’s learning.

We have created a set of tip sheets to help administrators, teachers, and families determine the best ways to share student data in meaningful ways, on a regular basis, to strengthen family–school partnerships and promote student learning. Specifically, these tip sheets help:

  • Administrators
    • Create a data-sharing culture among teachers
    • Help families make use of data
  • Teachers
    • Prepare to share data with families
    • Talk with families about student data
  • Families
    • Prepare to communicate with teachers
    • Talk about their child’s progress with teachers   
    • Engage with their child
