Anne T. Henderson

Anne T. Henderson is an education researcher and author known for her work on family-school partnerships and parent involvement in education. She is a co‑author of Everyone Wins! The Evidence for Family-School Partnerships and Implications for Practice, published by Scholastic in 2022, alongside Karen L. Mapp, Stephany Cuevas, Martha C. Franco, and Suzanna Ewert, which synthesizes recent research on how family and community engagement influences outcomes for students, families, educators, schools, districts, and communities.

Henderson has an extensive record of scholarship on parent and family engagement. She co‑edited A New Generation of Evidence: The Family Is Critical to Student Achievement with Nancy Berla, a widely cited compilation on the impact of parent involvement on student success. Her work, including later syntheses with Karen L. Mapp, has been frequently referenced in education literature for demonstrating that parental involvement is strongly associated with improved academic achievement, better school behavior, and lower dropout rates, across income levels and backgrounds.
