How Family Engagement Strategies Can Support Immigrant and Multilingual Families

Multilingual and immigrant learners bring perspectives to our schools that promote open dialogue, increase collaboration and cultural competencies, and improve learning for all students. Schools around the country are looking for strategies to better support multilingual students and ensure their families have access to educational experiences that affirm and protect their cultural and linguistic identities. Family engagement can play a vital role building culturally affirming and welcoming school communities where immigrant and emerging bilingual learners are supported to thrive and excel.
