Understanding and Addressing Barriers to ELL Parent-School Involvement
This presentation examines barriers preventing English Language Learner families from engaging in K-5 schools, including language barriers, inflexible work schedules, and cultural differences. This presentation explores how elementary schools can increase involvement among families of English language learners to support students’ academic and language development. Research-based interventions such as bilingual parent coordinators, translated communications, flexible event scheduling, and trauma-informed approaches that have proven effective in increasing ELL parent engagement and student success will be explored.
