Engaging Families through Their Stories and Legacies
Sandra Medrano-Arroyo

Recognizing and respecting the many ways that families support the learning and development of children is critical to the success of school-based family engagement practices. Each family we serve has a unique story, one that connects language, culture, and character to their child’s personal identity.  When we hear their stories, we can form strong, effective relationships and engage families so they can support learning at home. Take part in a few activities that will help support your family engagement plan and celebrate each of your students’ cultural identity.

Valuing the Linguistic and Cultural Identities of Multilingual Learners
Sandra Medrano-Arroyo

Multilingual learners bring an incredible richness to our classrooms. In order to create confident multilingual learners that can flourish and contribute to a greater cause, their linguistic and cultural assets need to be nurtured and leveraged by intentionally providing them with opportunities to showcase these assets. Share and learn as we participate in a few instructional practices that promote multilingualism while valuing students' cultural and linguistic identities.
