Cohort 4 Resources
Welcome to the West Virginia Family Engagement Center Project!
The West Virginia Family Engagement Center is dedicated to supporting schools in the development and enhancement of their family engagement efforts. As a member of our active cohort, the WVFEC team and your assigned Family Engagement Specialist will be available to support you throughout the academic year by providing technical assistance, capacity building, and additional resources. This page will be regularly updated with required materials and supplemental resources available to you as a WVFEC Cohort school.
Evidence Base
The Dual Capacity-Building Framework for Family-School Partnerships
The Dual Capacity Framework used existing research and best practices to create a compass for schools to develop effective family engagement strategies, policies, and programs.
The framework helps schools create strong efforts that support student achievement and school improvement.

Supportive Documents & Templates
The following documents provide templates for required Cohort 4 project submissions, including an action plan, final budget template, and invoice template. Prior to completing these materials, participating Cohort 4 locations must sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the county and school level, both of which are linked below. To provide guidance on budget development, the Budget Allocations document includes allowable purchases through the WVFEC project via federal funds.
It takes a village.
