FEATURED RESOURCES
To access resources, schools must use their schools.nyc.gov account.
This guide includes a selection of school-facing and family-facing resources anchored in culturally responsive-sustaining (CRS) family engagement practices. As you review these resources, we hope that you will be able to:
Identify and adapt a set of resources that will enhance your school’s family support and partnership plans;
Evaluate your school’s existing family engagement practices, with a focus on families of multilingual learners and,
Further your ongoing efforts to invest in strategies to reach and build relationships with families who have traditionally been excluded from schools.
The guide highlights resources, activities, and workshop materials that center the experience of historically under-represented Multilingual Learners and immigrant students. We hope the resources and activities provide you and your students the opportunity to:
Ensure Multilingual Learners, immigrant students, and undocumented youth are the protagonist in their journey.
Engage in meaningful programming filled with checkpoints for reflection, planning, and the development of social-emotional skills that build cultural capital.
This guide will support the postsecondary preparation of MLs/ELLs. As you review, we hope you can:
Identify culturally responsive and sustaining ways to advise diverse Multilingual Learners.
Provide meaningful opportunities for Multilingual Learners to explore, prepare, and apply to a postsecondary pathway.
Engage in reflection questions and seek critical disaggregated data points that facilitate college and career preparation for Multilingual Learners.
Center intersectionality and uplift the diverse identities of multilingual learners.
NYSED's Multilingual Learner / English Language Learner Graduation Rate Improvement and Dropout Prevention Planning Tool
Provided by the New York State Education Department, use this tool with your school community to engage in meaningful inquiry around your ML/ELL data and put a plan of action in place to support students at risk of not graduating high school. Identify dropout prevention measures that multiple school-based personnel are responsible for and utilize your school's college and career planning data points to support matriculation milestones for MLs/ELLs.
