The Family Leadership Self-Assessment Rubric: An Indicator Tool for School Districts: A Lessons from Central Falls, Rhode Island

In this report, we give a brief overview of Central Falls and the district’s work to build authentic family leadership; describe our research methods and framework for family leadership; and present our analysis of Central Falls' family leadership efforts, organized according to our framework. At the end of the report, we share a self-assessment rubric of indicators aligned to our framework, informed by Central Falls' work and vetted by its families and leaders. We anticipate the rubric will be useful as a reflection tool for other districts in strengthening their own work to engage families as powerful leaders.
