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 translate what I needed for the parents by going online and using a translation website. The parents may not be able to respond at the conference, but they see the attempt and also know what is going on with their child. |

Comments: Online translators are not reliable as they are all different and could translate something into something you do not mean to say. |
