On-Demand Virtual Training
Family engagement is a key factor in student success, yet immigrant families often face barriers to fully participating in their child’s education. Language differences, cultural expectations and unfamiliarity with school systems can create challenges for both educators and families. This webinar explores practical, culturally responsive strategies to strengthen connections between schools and immigrant families. This training was originally held on April 30, 2025.
Learning Objectives:
- Strategies to empower immigrant families as active participants in education
- How to address common challenges immigrant families face in school engagement
- Ways to strengthen school-family partnerships
