Building a Strong Family and Community Culture with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families

OSSE’s Division of Teaching and Learning invites all K-12 educators who support culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and their families to a professional development workshop focused on CLD family engagement. In this session, participants will examine best practices in engaging CLD families and develop a plan to pilot some of those practices for the final quarter of the 2019-20 school year and refine for the next school year. Participants will work in groups to leverage community resources and share knowledge about available opportunities in DC. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Use best practices in engaging CLD families at their school or LEA,
• Articulate their vision for engaging and working with CLD families, and
• Share their plan for engaging CLD families.

This workshop will take place on April 23, 2020 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at OSSE, First Floor, Eleanor Holmes Norton II, (Room 109).

Registration is required. For questions, please contact Anika Harris at Anika.Harris@dc.gov.
