ELL & Ed Reform

Like any parent, parents of English language learners (ELL) want the best possible education for their children. Yet, they often face language and cultural barriers to becoming fully involved in their children’s education.

Global Partnership Schools focuses on the unique needs of ELL students and their parents. We understand that as the number of immigrant families & ELL students increases, educational leaders must take action to improve teaching and learning. Data shows that students who cannot read or write in English are more likely to drop out of school. The average 4-year graduation rate for ELL students in many states is less than 33 percent.

Back To School

Giving children what they need to succeed in school takes more than new backpacks and carefully orchestrated schedules. It takes parents, whether it’s a traditional family unit, a single parent, a grandparent, or a foster parent, parental involvement is critical for a successful school year.

Dr. Rudy Crew had much to say about Back-to-School and the benefits children gain when parents are active partners in the learning process during a recent interview with Metro Source News.

Dr. Crew said Back-to-School is an exciting time of year, yet can be tension-filled. He suggested parents, particularly for younger children, instill a joy of learning and a clear understanding that someone is in it with them.
