3 Steps to Build Parent Capacity with Hispanics for Title I, Part A

Build Parent Capacity with Hispanics Title I, Part A

Building parent capacity and leadership is a strong focus for Title I, Part A for Parent Involvement. When working with Spanish-speaking parents, it’s best to provide parents with a step-by-step training opportunity in order to become leaders at school. Parents can then assist teachers, staff and other parents.

Depending on your district’s goals, schools can begin by offering courses to coach parents in literacy, engagement, communication, vocabulary development, parenting, and ESL prior to putting parents in leadership roles. Training is important if strong outcomes are desired. Parent leaders should have strong literacy and communication skills themselves, as well as proper training to support a leadership role.

Here are 3 Steps to Build ELL Parent Capacity:

1) Parents attend a parent program at their child’s school. The Latino Family Literacy Project is a program designed specifically for Spanish-speaking parents.

2) Parents volunteer as classroom leaders with specific leadership roles.

3) Parent graduate the parent program, receive a certificate, and continue as parent leaders.

Parents will receive coaching and mentoring from teachers and will graduate with a whole new skill set! Parents get to practice reading with their own children so that it’s natural and enjoyable. Then parents are ready to volunteer as a parent leader in a classroom with a skilled teacher working with a new group of parents at the school.

The entire process is fun and truly builds new skills with Spanish-speaking parents and with their children. It also creates a home/school community with parents, teachers, administrators, and students.
