Cultural Diversity Presentation

          There is a need for schools and teachers to connect with families of English language learners. To facilitate this collaborative spirit, educators must encourage parents of all cultures to become part of the school culture. First read the article, “How to Reach out to Parents of ELLs.” Think about what you would like parents to know as they partner with you in educating their child. What could parents share about their culture that would help the classroom teacher be more effective? Design a series of three activities for parents and students at your school that honor and respect cultural diversity. Your plan should include the following: Explain the purpose for each activity. Describe the target group you are addressing. Explain the activities. Describe the materials/resources needed to execute each activity.
