Words Matter: Differences in Informative and Negative School Communication in Engaging Families
Hine, Megumi G.
School Community Journal, v32 n1 p157-186 2022
Family engagement frameworks identify communication as a critical component in creating partnerships with families. However, schools create various barriers to engagement, often starting with a lack of communication, that unequally impact racialized and minoritized families. In addition, the association between communication and family engagement is likely to differ across the content of communication and types of family engagement. This study examines the relationship between school communication content and different types of family engagement and how this relationship differs for racialized subgroups. The findings show positive associations between informative school communication and school-, home-, and community-based family engagement, while negative communications were not associated with any type of family engagement. Analyses also indicated that the relationship between informative communication and family engagement was stronger for Latino families for school- and home-based engagement.
