A Future Design for Equitable Communities: Building Family Learning Systems. Education Solutions for Families
National Center for Families Learning
Family learning systems are dependent upon coalitions of institutions, organizations, community members, and families who engage in deep, comprehensive work bringing together a continuum of programs and resources-- spanning birth through adulthood--in family literacy, family engagement, and family leadership. These intentional efforts will create learning opportunities, build capacity, and strengthen partnerships across our nation with and for children and families who are farthest from opportunity. The National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) believes that family learning systems support multigenerational learning needs and ensure that learning is happening beyond the school walls for children and families--in service of educational success and economic opportunity. This brief examines how NCFL intends to support these efforts collaboratively to spread and scale education solutions for families while deepening their work in 60 communities. These will promote equitable communities where children and families feel valued, gain social capital, and thrive in a just and fair society.
