Encouraging parents to become involved is the first step toward bringing parents and educators closer together on behalf of their English Learners. From organizing workshops for parents to developing classroom language learning assignments that include families, the process to boost involvement takes commitment—and an action plan.

In this edWebinar, see the six categories of parental involvement and how educators can incorporate those categories into an effective action plan. It highlights best practices and real-world examples we have seen from districts around the country, and review common roadblocks and discuss how to overcome the challenges they represent. Also break down the action plan to help participants begin to incorporate action steps—and ideas on what to do if it falls off track.

This recorded presentation will continue the conversation from Part 1: Involve Parents for Greater English Learner Success.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK-12 teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders. Learn from real-world examples of how other schools incorporate family engagement into their schools.
