Authentic family partnerships not only foster collaborative environments but also enhance students’ literacy development and overall well-being. In this ILA Webinar, Nawal Qarooni will draw from her extensive research and personal experience as a parent of four multiethnic children to guide participants in understanding a collective care framework that can grow community and connections with students and their families.

Participants will

  • Explore the multitude of ways that all families grow their children's literacy lives—through authentic traditions and rituals—and think through their responsibilities as teachers and leaders of literacy
  • Delve into how classroom teaching of English language arts sparks and extends curiosity into students’ home lives, unearthing a deep appreciation for the rich nuance of the human experience
  • Discuss where the family intersects with curricular work, and how we can communicate best with families about how to strengthen and continue their rich literacy legacies
