Engaging families in education is integral to achieving greater literacy and learning outcomes for families, higher attendance rates for children, and positive outcomes for communities. The Families Learning Conference is laser-focused on delivering learning content to support educators and others to engage families in family literacy, family engagement, and family leadership settings with an emphasis on equitable practices.

"The intent of the 2024 conference theme, “I Am A Scholar,” is to not only consider our own identities as scholars, but to consider who we are as a scholarly community. As you reflect upon your own ideas about what makes you a scholar, I invite you to consider dismantling the hierarchies that have been constructed about who is worthy of the title “scholar.” I believe these often create barriers to better policy, practice, and scholarship.
