This course is great for teachers wanting to have authentic conversations with parents/guardians that build relationships and support student learning. Parent/Teacher Conferences can be a busy and stressful time for teachers, but we often don’t think about how stressful it can be for parents. It is especially difficult for parents that are not fluent in English. By completing this course you will be able to do more than just greet your Spanish speaking families. I learned essential vocabulary and grammar to communicate about student behaviors and academic performance as well as what students are currently doing in my class. Being able to communicate with my students’ families has been invaluable. It allows me to help students in the best way possible at school and families can continue to support students at home. This course is definitely worth the time.
