Building a strong, engaged ELPAC community can lead to significant improvements for students. By fostering partnerships with multilingual families and district leaders, we can increase participation and create an environment where all students thrive.
On November 20th, 2024, FCSN and DESE co-facilitated a multilingual webinar aimed at empowering families and improving outcomes for English learners through effective engagement with English Learner Parent Advisory Councils (ELPACs).
Created for parent leaders, districts, and anyone involved in English learner education, this webinar covered:
- What is an ELPAC? Laws, support, and a community perspective on how ELPACs aid student success and family engagement.
- How to engage families in meaningful ways
- Increasing participation in ELPACs to make an impact
- Collaborating with districts to foster student success
- Who should be involved, and how? The roles of schools, families, and multilingual communities.
You can access the webinar recording, with subtitles in 6 languages, to help you better understand the strategies shared during the session. Interested in forming and/or sustaining an ELPAC community in your district? This information is for you!
