Twenty-five percent of students today are Hispanic, and Hispanic children and youth are the fastest-growing population in America. We know that Hispanic and Latino parents want the best for their children and want to be engaged, but there are cultural and language barriers that make it challenging. 

 

As Hispanic families head back to school, it is important they are equipped with tools and resources to help their children start strong and stay on track to success.

 

In this webinar, you will:     

• Gain knowledge of the impact of family engagement on student success and ways to support Hispanic and Latino children's learning and development in school, at home and in the community.
• Learn how to advocate for a quality and equitable education to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach his/her full potential. 

Moderator:   

• Geronimo M. Rodriguez Jr., 2015-2017 National PTA board member
