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!)
This situation is very hard, but you can get am app that can translate your words and that can translate their words. also maybe talking to the schools administration about getting together a night ESOL classes to help the parents learn some basic words. |
