Beyond Translation

In today's diverse educational landscape,
fostering strong relationships with families of Multilingual Learners is essential. 

Language barriers often impede effective communication between educators and families whose native language is not English. While there are tools to help families understand educators, there is a significant need for tools that enable educators to truly hear and understand what families are saying, promoting an asset-based approach that values their contributions. Leveraging AI tools to enhance communication with families whose native language is not English is critical to creating an inclusive and supportive educational environment. By promoting meaningful two-way communication, fostering asset-based thinking, and deepening relationships, we can ensure that all families are heard, valued, and actively engaged in their children's education.
