Case: No Habla Ingles!
I currently work at an elementary school where the student population is 98% Latino/Hispanic. The vast majority of my students are ELL/ESOL students. Almost all of the student's parents are Spanish speakers that speak very little to no English. When we have to hold conferences throughout the year, we are often short staffed on translators. We are also encouraged NOT to use the students as translators. I wish I could communicate more often with my students' parents. Any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There is always an app on the cell phone or a device that can translate for both you and the parent. I know it is difficult, but being short translators can be very difficult. Maybe try and learn a few words in Spanish that will help you get the issue to the parents and it also shows that you are putting in an effort to help them and their child. |

| Comments: I like this solution. It is impossible to carry on in a school where Spanish is the popular language. Taking it upon yourself to use translation devices is the best possible solution when translators are unavailable. |

| Comments: Apps and translators are good but not perfect. I would only recommend their use if you have some familiarity with the language so that you can assess the translation as good or bad. |
