What you'll learn

The Covid-19 pandemic has uncovered structural inequities in our school system- particularly for Multilingual Learners and their families. This 30 minute course is based on my article in Confianza titled "Engaging Multilingual Families in Distance Learning and Beyond" published in May of 2020. I will highlight the Three R's for engaging Multilingual Families within the school community- remotely and in person- Relationships, Resources, and Response. *Courses are video-based and structured like sessions.*
