A Partnership Project with The Ballmer Group, Michigan Department of Education, GoOpen Michigan, and MACUL
Our schools and society have shifted to digital for so many things. It can be overwhelming to others to figure out how to navigate the platforms and sites and even more overwhelming if English is not the primary language for our families. These videos will hopefully help families have a better understanding of the education system here in the United States, as well as have the opportunity to get to know some of the digital tools utilized in our classrooms. Family-Home Partnerships are essential, and the goal is to help EL families feel more connected, therefore becoming more involved.

We are truly just scratching the surface to create a collection of vidoes that will help Michigan ML/EL families feel more connected to their child's education and life here in the US. You can reach out to Amanda McCarthy at MDE to learn more. McCarthyA3@michigan.gov
