This toolkit from the Improving Instruction Project has resources for families of children who are learning English. The guides for families on their website include:
- Building Successful Communication Between Parents/Guardians and Teachers
- Working with Language Interpreters – You have the right to ask the school for a language interpreter to help you talk to your child’s teacher.
- Accessibility and Accommodations – For example, a child may need extra time to complete a homework assignment or read a test in English. Some students may be given permission to look up words in an English dictionary.
