Proposing a parent night event at your school

Scenario: In response to claims that your district does not practice culturally-responsive teaching, your superintendent has requested that each school organize a parent night event specifically targeted at parents of migrant students and English language learners (ELLs). The superintendent has requested a succinct proposal from each school in presentation form.

Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation proposing a parent night event at your school. Address the following points:

Explain how this event addresses the need for culturally-responsive teaching.

List the variety of academic preparation programs, enrichment programs, and intervention programs available at your school, and assess how each program serves its purpose. Consider the following:

Academic intervention programs available for ELLs (before, during, and/or after school)

English language proficiency requirements (e.g., required English language development (ELD) classes, examination procedures, ELD re-designation process)

Community resources for ELLs that promote language acquisition

Identify involvement opportunities for parents.

Explain your role in the preparation and implementation of this event, as the school administrator. Consider the following:

How will you get ELL parents to attend (i.e., incentives)?

Which staff members will you need to assist with this event?

Will students attend with their parents?

How will you advertise the event?
