For example in China, teachers are respected just as much as doctors are. In Finland as well, teachers are highly respected and trusted, and are given a lot of freedom. If an EL is from one of these cultures, their families may not be as "involved." In some ethnic minority families it is also thought that parents are responsible for home and teachers for school, which is important to keep in mind.]]> 2020-09-26 16:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781527659 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781712022 Acknowledge a parent or guardian's cultural beliefs and view them as strengths.]]> 2020-09-26 21:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781712022 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781713473 Many ELLs come from cultures that revere teaching, where teachers are considered experts, and schools do not want parents to "interfere" in the child's education.]]> 2020-09-26 21:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781713473 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781720765 2020-09-26 21:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781720765 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781739534 Families can and may be involved in different ways. Many of the ways that we expect familes to be involved, revolves around middle-class families. Bake sales, PTA meetings, and fundraisers can not and should not be expected of all families. These are not the only ways that familes can be involved, so they should not judge a family's engagement. Families may also be involved by teaching them things abut their culture and society at home, or bringing their kids to work with them. Overall, educators cannot be so quick to judge a family's involvement, instead try to understand a family and their background.]]> 2020-09-26 21:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781739534 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/781745553 Incorporate families' cultures into your classroom.

Try to offer different times and locations. Families of ELs may work afternoon or night shifts or may not feel comfortable coming to school. By offering different times and meeting at different places (church, community centers, etc.), families know that you are trying to form a relationship and are committed. ]]> 2020-10-02 01:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/796764740 muellermeghan98 https://padlet.com/muellermeghan98/qtb89gllf82nag5j/wish/796773232 https://www.colorincolorado.org/sites/default/files/ELL_AdvocacyGuide2015.pdf
