Strong math skills are vital to the development of a competitive workforce. To prepare all students to be college- and career-ready, schools must set ever-higher math goals.

Effective family engagement is a critical tool for achieving those goals. Studies have reported that high levels of outreach to parents and families resulted in 40% higher test scores in math, and schools with strong family engagement were 10 times more likely to improve student learning gains in math.
