An Ethnographic Approach to Understanding Latinx Family Engagement
Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at 10:30 AM–11:15 AM EDT
LL6: Middlesex East
Session Abstract
Schools need to validate and accommodate marginalized families and their children. In the process, schools need to also shift their understanding and interactions with immigrant families, and go beyond a deficit mindset. One such approach is for educators to design workshops where families learn how to navigate the school system.
