Inspired by the principles in Dr. Krystal Clemons’ book, It Takes a Village to Raise a Classroom: Black Family Wisdom in Education, this engaging webinar explores how schools can move beyond surface-level family engagement to build authentic, community-driven partnerships that support student success. Participants will examine how village-centered wisdom—rooted in trust, cultural wealth, collective responsibility, and community collaboration—can transform school culture, strengthen relationships, and create more inclusive learning environments.
