This webinar introduces participants to language-focused family engagement. This unique approach to family engagement centers firmly on multilingual children and their families by drawing attention to language learning and development that occurs both in-and-out of school settings. Participants will explore findings and recommendations from research with parents of multilingual children ages 0-5 and have opportunities to discuss connections to local family engagement policies and practices.
