Programs and Services
When family engagement moves beyond one-off activities and events and becomes an ongoing system of partnership tied directly to learning, children and youth experience real, measurable improvement. Powerhouse Collective builds those systems with you.
We work at every level—state, district, school, and family—to strengthen capacity where it matters most. Our services are practical, targeted, and designed to align with the outcomes you already track. That means plans, practices, and tools that integrate into existing data, accountability, and improvement efforts so progress is visible and sustainable.
What We Do
Utilize emerging research and best practices to bolster your education improvement priorities through the application of evidence-based family-school partnership strategies.
Build educator and family confidence, connection, cognition and capabilities through focused professional learning, coaching, and implementation supports that produce consistent, classroom-to-home connections.
Design systems, policies, routines, and data practices that embed family partnership into school improvement cycles and state accountability systems.
Measure progress and impact by linking family engagement activities to the specific student outcomes you monitor, so you see what’s working and where to invest next.
