In this episode, Stephen Hurley, Doannie Tran and Landon Mascareñaz are joined by Bibb Hubbard, founder and President of Learning Heroes, an organization formed to help parents most effectively advocate on behalf of their children’s educational success.

Join us as we uncover the untapped potential of family engagement and discuss how education can be a catalyst for democracy.

Three key takeaways from this episode:


Empower Families as Partners: Co-creation is more than a buzzword – it's about schools recognizing parents as valued collaborators, using tools like the Parent Teacher Planning tool to set concrete goals for children's achievement and well-being.-


Leadership and Training are Crucial: Transformation in education hinges on strategic leadership. Principals and school leaders need support to overcome barriers and must be trained to engage families effectively, respecting diverse cultures and languages.-

Transparency Builds Trust: Sharing clear, objective data about a child's academic performance is fundamental for parental empowerment. This transparency facilitates a shared reality, enhancing trust and cooperation between families and educators.
