Collaborating With Multilingual Families

CREA 6 Conference Center - 2300 State Rd 44 Oshkosh , WI 54904 USA

Families have a wealth of knowledge to share, particularly about their language, culture, home life, and child. Research shows that strong home-school connections are related to positive learning and developmental outcomes for children from diverse backgrounds. We will explore best practices to build parent engagement and involvement and learn strategies to support communication with multilingual families that is frequent, ongoing, and responsive to families’ needs, even if you do not speak the home language. Together we will plan ways to build strong home-school relationships with the families in your district.
