Rooted in Relationships Summit
The Power of Partnerships in Early Learning and Authentic Family Engagement

Imagine if authentic relationships became the root system that nourishes all learning. Imagine if families, schools, and communities worked as true partners — where parents’ unique insights shaped decisions, where students’ voices guided the way forward, and where the early years were prioritized as mission-critical.
AASA's Rooted in Relationships Summit brings together district leaders to examine how authentic partnerships with students, families, and communities create the fertile ground for every child to flourish.
Learning Objectives
- Explore evidence-based strategies for building trust-based relationships and meaningful engagement with students and families that establish strong home-school partnerships
- Understand how early learning serves as the critical foundation for student success across the PK-12 continuum
- Analyze Miami-Dade County's high-impact approaches to family engagement, community engagement, and student voice
- Examine how relationships and engagement are embedded in Miami-Dade's strategic planning and the measurable outcomes
- Gain a network of colleagues committed to positioning families and communities as genuine partners in student success
Together, we'll dig deeper into what it means to be truly rooted in relationships, and discover how these connections help every child reach their full potential!
