Research shows time and time again that families lead the way to positive outcomes for their children, and that is true no matter what country a parent or caregiver was born in. While newcomer families may be unfamiliar with the U.S. school system, they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge that makes them powerful agents of change in their communities and in the lives of their children.

During this edWeb podcast, you hear from America Lopez about her journey learning to navigate her daughter’s school to becoming a leader and advocate both in the district and the broader community. You walk away from this inspiring and engaging session with:

• A greater understanding of the strengths, needs, and lived experiences of families who are newcomers to the U.S.
• Strategies to support families as they transition to school in the U.S.
• Effective ways to foster supportive communities for new families
• Ideas to help build and strengthen the capacity of families to support their children’s education and become leaders and advocates for their families

Tune in for actionable insights and practical ways to better support newcomer families and welcome them as partners in their children’s learning. This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and those in parent/community involvement, family engagement, and school improvement roles.
