Equity Considerations for Key Indicators of High-Quality Family Engagement: A 2023 Update for Quality Rating and Improvement Systems

In 2018, the National Center on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement published the Key Indicators of High-Quality Family Engagement for Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS). In line with the original resource, this 2023 update provides State and community leaders, including leaders in Tribes and territories, with additional considerations for equitable and high-quality family engagement. When issues of equity are addressed, these changes have the potential to reduce existing biases that are present in some QRISs.

When planning revisions to your QRIS, use Equity Considerations for Key Indicators of High-Quality Family Engagement: A 2023 Update for Quality Rating and Improvement Systems as your guide for redefining and measuring quality in a more equitable way.
