The Dual Capacity-Building Framework was formulated using the research on effective family engagement and home–school partnership strategies and practices, adult learning and motivation, and leadership development. The Dual Capacity-Building Framework components include: 1. a description of the capacity challenges that must be addressed to support the cultivation of effective home–school partnerships; 2. an articulation of the conditions integral to the success of family–school partnership initiatives and interventions; 3. an identification of the desired intermediate capacity goals that should be the focus of family engagement policies and programs at the federal, state, and local level; and 4. a description of the capacity-building outcomes for school and program staff as well as for families.
