Also, how often should I communicate with them? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It will be helpful to use the ESOL resources that are in your school already. They may be able to help you provide weekly newsletters and emails in the Native language of those parents, which will not only help them understand classroom expectations, but will make them feel included in their child’s education. If your school provides a translator during parent-teacher conferences, that is ideal too. Putting your best foot forward and using the resources available to you to make sure that information is equally accessible to these parents is incredibly helpful. Depending on your own teaching philosophy, the amount of communication with parents will differ. For me, I think weekly to biweekly updates are definitely ideal!
