The overall purpose of this project is to conduct a pilot study examining the impact of Family Engagement Specialists' (FES) beliefs and attitudes (e.g., bias) on their engagement with families. We will pursue three specific aims: (1) determine associations between family engagement specialists' beliefs and attitudes on their interactions and relationships with families; (2) examine how FES' beliefs and attitudes are linked to parents' behaviors and children's outcomes; and (3) conduct a landscape analysis of programming and resources focused on strengthening FES' positive beliefs and attitudes towards parents and strengthening the parent-FES relationship.
