Educating Students on Adult Responsibilities

Equity partnerships are designed to empower our communities to work together to fill the gaps viewed most recently by COVID19. With most of the country in distance learning mode, we are seeing that the family is more important than ever. Everyone is spending more time with families, integrated via screens like never before. We have a unique opportunity to build on and develop solid partnerships between families, schools, and communities to prepare students for being successful adults. Being strategic about these partnerships begins with understanding the Family Leadership Pillars and how these partnerships can support the needs not just for individual students, but for entire families. These skills, better described as the 5 Pillars of Family Leadership, have been categorized into five leadership areas: Personal, Professional/Career, Relational, Home, and Financial.
