Family Education and Engagement Assessment
Comprehensive assessment of family education and strength of family engagement and cohesion. The assessment process includes interviews, meetings, reviewing family policies, values, goals and strategic plans, formal and informal education programs, meeting agendas, learning materials, organizational structures, technologies, etc.
Ideal clients:
- A family who values education and wants to start or improve learning programs or a family concerned about entitlement, stewardship and the next generation.
- A family who wants to revitalize family education or wants a “fresh eyes” approach, an outside “read” on opportunities for improvement to take family learning to the next level.
