Family-School-Community Partnerships to Promote Social and Emotional Learning
Andy Garbacz1; Tory L. Ash1; Rachel T. Santiago2
Grantee Submission
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is inherently relational, shaped by the interactions children have within their homes, schools, and communities. Grounded in ecological systems theory, this chapter explores how family-school-community partnerships can serve as a powerful mechanism for promoting SEL and fostering positive developmental outcomes. Research consistently demonstrates that collaborative relationships among families, schools, and community members enhance children's academic, social-emotional, and behavioral well-being. This chapter reviews empirical support for these partnerships, highlighting their role in advancing equity, cultural responsiveness, and strengths-based approaches to education. Further, we discuss implementation science strategies to better integrate family-school-community partnerships into SEL programs. Finally, we provide evidence-based practices to support meaningful cross-system collaboration, offering actionable recommendations for educators, families, and policymakers seeking to create environments that nurture children's SEL across multiple contexts.
