60.040 - Relationships Between Schools and Immigrant Families: Addressing Junctures and Disjunctures
Sun, April 19, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, MinnesotaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium aims to enhance understandings of the relationships between schools and immigrant families, in particular the junctures and disjunctures in communication, instruction, and family engagement that promote or inhibit parents and teachers as true partners in education. The findings of four distinct ethnographic research studies conducted with diverse populations of emergent bilinguals and their families in the U.S. and Canada illuminate the range of ways immigrant families are engaged in their children’s educations at home and school. Together these papers highlight overlap and divergence in the barriers to family engagement that endure or are overturned by innovative school-family partnerships.
