Case: How do you communicate?
The school where I work has a very diverse population. Over 50% of our students are Hispanic, and almost all of them come from Spanish speaking homes. We have a parent involvement coordinator and several teachers who speak Spanish, and our principal does as well. However, just recently, we've received a few families from Guatemala. These children and their families do not speak Spanish. They speak dialect inherent to the tribe that they've come from in Guatemala. We also have many new families who only speak Arabic. How do you communicate effectively with students and their parents in this situation, especially when no one in the school speaks their language?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would contact an International Center in your area and request a translator to come out to your school. A lot of times these translators are paid through the school district and can become a partner in education for your school. They can help with conferences and sometimes work with the parent liaison as well. |
