Multilingual Learners: Multilingual Learners 5: Family and Caregiver Engagement and Partnership (micro-credential) (Equity) (15 Clock Hours): In this micro-credential, the educator plans and implements a workshop or other activity to increase engagement of families and/or caregivers of multilingual learners.

Family, caregiver, and community engagement involves creating an inclusive and supportive environment where families, educators, and community members collaborate to promote the success of students. This collaboration includes traditional parent-teacher conferences, but extends into various facets of education, encompassing academic, social, emotional, and cultural aspects.
Incorporating family and community engagement into the education experience entails activities such as workshops, events, volunteer opportunities, and collaborative projects. The goal is to create a sense of shared responsibility, where families and community members are actively involved in supporting students' academic, social, and emotional growth.
