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 is always going to be a frustrating situation. It is so hard to not be able to get your ideas across. Just imagine how the parents and child feel. I would recommend taking professional development class on how to communicate with ESOL students and their families. There a several strategies available to provide basic instructions. Perhaps having a parent night with the ESOL students and applying these strategies to communicate. Also research activities from their culture. This will promote inclusion and help the families feel accepted in the school system! |
