Framework goes online

0
0

Much of this website and the Bureau itself draws on a document called Family-School Partnerships Framework – A guide for schools and families.

This document is now made available online.


The Framework contains:

  • a vision for improved partnerships between Australian families and schools;
  • a set of principles to guide families and schools in developing partnerships;
  • seven key dimensions of effective family-school partnerships;
  • a set of strategies providing practical guidance to school communities and school systems in implementing and fostering family-school partnerships.

The Framework is based on existing good practice and provides an agreed national approach to guide schools and families working on these issues.

The Framework recognises that many positive developments and innovations are already occurring in schools and that a one size fits all approach to partnerships is not feasible. Partnerships need to be underpinned by broad principles and strategies but remain specific to school context, including family/community characteristics, school size, levels of schooling and student needs.

Why have a Framework?

The Framework is a resource for school communities. Its purpose is to encourage and guide schools, school systems, parent groups and families to support family-school partnerships.

Who is it for?

The Framework is intended for school systems, schools, school leaders (both staff and parents), families and other interested people working together to develop partnerships. The Framework is an opportunity to take stock and ask:

  • to what extent are partnerships occurring?;
  • in whose opinion are partnerships occurring?; and
  • is there evidence from staff and parents on the performance of partnerships?

Who prepared it?

The Framework has been prepared by the national parent bodies in Australia – the Australian Council of State School Organisations (ACSSO), the Australian Parents Council (APC) – the Australian Government, and other key stakeholders, including State and Territory government and non-government school authorities, and school principals’ associations.
