Issue: 38:1—Family Engagement
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education recently released a joint policy statement on family engagement (May 2016). The policy statement purports that all early childhood systems should recognize and support family engagement in children’s learn-ing, development, and wellness. Research supports strong family engagement in the early years has a positive impact on children’s development, academic success, and long-term health and wellness. This issue will focus on broad issues related to family engagement in early intervention, public school and community early childhood programs, and com-munity agencies. Topics that manuscripts might address include effective family-centered and capacity building prac-tices, family coaching within early intervention systems, fam-ily and professional collaboration, supporting family well-being as it relates to supporting their child’s develop-ment, and approaches to engaging families with young chil-dren who experience poverty. We welcome submission of manuscripts that include descriptions of empirical research, reviews and syntheses of the literature, and discussions of pertinent policies, programs, and conceptual perspectives.
