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!)
With that amount of students and parents with communication needs, the schools and district needs to have an adequate amount of translators available for conferences. One way to communicate effectively is to plan meeting well in advance and fully prepare for them. I would recommend having your notes and concerns printed in the student and parent's native language. Google has a translating app that will translate English typed documents into a variety of other languages. While having students translate is not the best solution, sometimes it is the only possible solution. However, you need to keep in mind the subject matter and content that is going to be discussed. It will not be appropriate to have another student present in a meeting that deals with sensitive subject matters. |

| Comments: This is a great idea and is relatively easy to implement, I agree that it’s best to plan the conferences before hand and Translate all the questions in possible answers to a translating app, anything to be able to communicate. |
