Family Resources
RIDE aims to support schools and families working together to achieve greater outcomes for Multilingual Learners (MLL). Here we have included resources for both families and educators to use to guide their path to improving outcomes for MLLs in Rhode Island.
Parents, you are always welcome to reach out to your school’s family engagement coordinator or school and community liaison to learn more about how to work together to support your child’s success!
MLL Strategic Plan, Goal 5: Increase school capacity to effectively engage families and caregivers as partners in MLL academic success, advocacy, decision-making, and use of resources.
