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.

This Webinar includes:

  • Shared stories from leading school districts - what works and what doesn’t, along with ideas and suggestions for effectively working with schools, communities and parents
  • Expert tips for making use of Title I and Title III dollars to support language access
  • How to incorporate translation and cultural adaptation in your district communications while minimizing costs
  • Understanding of how multilingual communication can increase LEP parent involvement in your district

Armed with these multicultural tools and suggestions your district will be well on it's way to effectively reaching out to culturally diverse communities.
