Videos: Communicating with Parents/Caregivers Who Don’t Speak English

When educators are able to communicate effectively with all families of students, including those who do not speak English well, students have a greater chance of success and educators have greater confidence in their roles. In this playlist of short videos on YouTube from ColorĂ­n Colorado, Dr. Jennifer Love shares with school leaders her knowledge of best practices for communicating with families who do not speak English.

Her videos feature the following 4 topics:

  • Are we welcoming English learners? The importance of language access as a bridge for welcoming and engaging multilingual families.
