Abstract
Noting the critical role parent engagement plays in student achievement and well-being (see for example Epstein, 1995, 2001; Henderson, Mapp, Robinson, & Davies, 2007), the paper looks at strengthening parent engagement, focusing on successful strategies for reaching, and supporting parents who face barriers to engagement such as poverty and cultural diversity issues. The paper focuses on five school board-level parent engagement projects qualitatively examined through observations, document analysis, and interviews with program coordinators, educators and parents. The boards conducted surveys and community visits to learn about families and their communities. Boards in regions with economic diversity covered the cost of activities involving parents, provided childcare or hosted family friendly events, and limited or eliminated transportation costs to events. Boards serving multicultural communities used translation services to communicate with families, hosted events in the communities, and developed culturally relevant activities. Findings point to the need for provincial education departments or ministries, universities and boards to work with educators to support inclusive initiatives that promote all families’ participation in their children’s education.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
