In this episode of the Compass PD Podcast, Dr. Carrie Hepburn is joined by Dr. Ted Huff, founder of Leading with Parents, to explore what it truly takes to unite schools, families, and communities in support of students. With parent engagement declining nationwide, Ted shares why authentic partnership—not just participation—is the key to improving attendance, strengthening achievement, and building trust. Through practical strategies, powerful insights, and decades of experience, Ted reminds us that when schools honor parent voice, tap into community strengths, and meet families where they are, everyone wins. This conversation offers hope, clarity, and actionable steps for districts ready to rebuild meaningful connections.
