Abstract: The government of Colombia has recognized family, school, and community engagement as essential throughout a child's entire educational trajectory and has therefore made family and school partnerships--known as Alianza Familia-Escuela--part of its efforts to foster the holistic development of children and adolescents. Colombia has enacted a series of national laws, decrees, and plans--or education frameworks--to make its program of Alianza Familia-Escuela central to its education system across all levels. This policy report explores how to transform Alianza Familia-Escuela into impactful partnerships in Colombia's schools. The purpose is to guide decision makers, education leaders, and civil society organizations in effectively implementing Alianza Familia-Escuela across the education ecosystem and to ensure that families are meaningfully partnering with schools and communities to support student learning, development, and well-being. This policy report begins with an analysis of how family, school, and community engagement, as well as the roles of families, are envisioned in Colombia's national education frameworks, as well as the school-based mechanisms for implementing Alianza Familia-Escuela. The methodology used for this research--the Conversation Starter Tools--is then introduced, followed by an overview of the research context and the demographics of the participants. Finally, five key findings from the quantitative and qualitative data are presented, along with practical recommendations and strategies for implementing these recommendations at the national, departmental, and school levels of Colombia's education ecosystem.
