ICYMI: Partnering with Immigrant Families to Promote Student Success
The Carnegie Corporation of New York commissioned a report outlining recommendations and best practices to build effective family-school partnerships with immigrant families.
"All children deserve access to the best education possible, regardless of their racial and socioeconomic background or personal circumstances. Family engagement is a tool for social and educational justice and serves as the foundation for equity work.
From cultural differences and language barriers to limited resources, undocumented immigration status, and anti-immigrant sentiment, immigrants face distinct challenges that may impact their interactions with schools and communities. Effective family engagement practices can empower immigrant families to better support their children’s learning, improving student outcomes and advancing equity."
