In less than 50 years, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that immigration will cause the U.S. population to increase from its present 307 million to more than 400 million. In fact, many of our nation’s school districts support over 35 languages among their schools. With the increasing number of immigrants, educators face tough challenges - how to effectively communicate with parents in culturally diverse communities and how to meet federal requirements mandating multilingual communication.
