Rooted in Relationships Summit

Relationships are where learning takes root.

Rooted in Relationships Summit 2027 The Power of Partnership in Early Learning and Authentic Family Engagement

The relationships children build with their teachers, families and communities shape how they learn and whether they feel they belong. The relationships leaders build shape what a district can accomplish.

AASA’s Rooted in Relationships Summit explores how authentic relationships are the foundation for early learning excellence, meaningful family engagement and lasting district impact. Learn alongside Albuquerque Public Schools and leaders from across the country, and leave with ideas you can put to work at home.

 Learning Objectives
  • How trusting relationships in a child’s earliest years set the stage for learning and success through 12th grade and beyond
  • What becomes possible when families and community partners are true partners in a child’s education
  • How relationships at every level, from the classroom to the district office to the community, strengthen a school system
  • How Albuquerque’s approach looks through the eyes of children, families, educators and community partners
  • Gain a network of colleagues committed to positioning families and communities as genuine partners in student success

What’s possible when a whole community shows up for its children? Come find out in Albuquerque!

Attending the Rooted in Relationships Summit [as a team] allowed us to step outside our typical roles and silos. More importantly, it gave us time and space to learn alongside one another as we considered how to deepen family partnerships in our own district.
