HISD Family and Community Engagement Report, 2020-2021. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
This is an evaluation of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Family and Community Engagement (FACE) program. The FACE program is designed to support parent and schools and promote effective family and community engagement in every HISD school. FACE provides or promotes training and professional development, community partnerships, parent and school activities, special events, parent-teacher associations, or organizations. It also strengthens school-community partnerships. Serving as community resource guides, FACE specialists implement the FACE events and activities. Five of these specialists were assigned to single schools and nine were assigned to clusters of schools during the 2020-2021 school year. The purpose of this evaluation was to identify parental perceptions of and experiences with FACE programs and measure the association between parental involvement and engagement and student academic performance. The evaluation used a survey questionnaire and data from the workshops' exit survey. Student assessment data on the 2021 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) 3-8 math and reading tests were used as the outcome data to determine the association between parental involvement and engagement and student achievement. The results show some association between parental participation in FACE workshops and student academic performance.
