The California Department of Education, in collaboration with a migrant education local partner, will demonstrate how the Family Biliteracy Program integrates the family into the school community, identifying and valuing cultural and linguistic assets that the family already possesses. Attendees will learn how to integrate the family unit into the educational experience by utilizing the family’s first language to teach literacy strategies that transfer to a second language that can be replicated at home.
