Our philosophy

NHA believes all teachers are teachers of EL students and we are committed to ensuring that EL students have access to high-quality education and instruction. We believe that student learning is first and foremost an adult responsibilty. If a student has not mastered the material we have taught them, then we must adjust our instructional strategies.

The Silver Lining of an Audit

 

You might be aware, if you're a Michigan school that receives Title III dollars, that occasionally Federal programs are audited :)

Auditors like to see a lot of evidence that things are being done well. I was so happy to receive some examples of such events happening in the EL community.

Many of our schools actively seek to engage EL families, and this week I was able to see some examples of that. Is your school doing something similar? Want to join the bragging wall (by my desk!)? Send me an example of what great parent engagement strategy you do!

Newsletters- EL teachers fill in their colorful form on a monthly basis highlighting school-wide activities, EL activities and upcoming events.
Literacy Nights- EL families are invited to attend these events to learn strategies and win academic supplies to use at home.
Cultural Celebrations- Many of our schools strive to foster cross-cultural communication by hosting potlucks, dessert nights and morning coffee dates.
