Booth, an English as a Second Language teacher in the Rogers School District, teaches families on Tuesday and Thursday nights. About 20 parents learn English alongside their children, who are classified as English-language learners within the district’s schools. Rogers offers the classes at four sites, serving about 80 families. It plans to add an additional site in the summer to meet increasing demand. The program is part of a national trend that’s taken root in Northwest Arkansas as its population of immigrants has grown. School districts are finding ways to draw parents of English-language learners into the classroom in hopes of increasing student achievement.
‘CHILD’S FIRST TEACHER’ In Booth’s class and others like it, parents and children split into two groups for the first half, completing lessons targeted to their life stages and language skills. Then they combine for conversational exercises and unit reviews.”*
