  • From Compliance to Connection: What 40 Years of Family Engagement Research Teaches Us About This Moment
    Jan 13 2026

    In this special National Family Engagement Month episode, PTHV Executive Director Andrea Prejean sits down with family engagement pioneer Anne T. Henderson for a conversation spanning four decades of advocacy, research, and transformation in education. Anne authored the first evidence review on parent involvement in 1981 and has guided the field through multiple cycles of federal policy—from Reagan's block grants to today's dramatic funding cuts. Andrea and Anne explore how family engagement has evolved from transactional, compliance-driven approaches to relational, trust-centered school cultures. They discuss the current crisis in chronic absenteeism, teacher retention challenges, and why authentic relationships—built through practices like Parent Teacher Home Visits—remain a powerful tool for creating schools where everyone thrives.
