A
Welcome
to
chat
together,
I'm
your
presenter
alba
morales
today,
we'll
talk
with
the
social
worker
specialist,
in
parental
involvement
from
the
services
office
for
international
students
grace
and
welcome
to
the
program.
Thank
you
very
much
for
inviting
me.
It
is
a
pleasure
that
you
are
here
because
you
work
in
an
important
place
in
our
school
system,
which
is
the
office
of
international
student
services,
so
tell
the
audience
if
they
don't
know,
It
is
that
this
office
is
dedicated
to.
B
You.
This
office
is
very
important
in
being
able
to
help
students
who
come
from
other
countries,
other
states,
other
counties,,
who
speak
a
language
other
than
English,,
also
enroll
them,,
but
we
do
a
little
more
than
enroll
them,.
We
also
support
the
parents
and
to
the
students
during
the
school
year
too,.
B
Office
I
can
do
anything
you
can
help
with
the
registration.
I
can
also
help
in
giving
the
test
in
English,
but,
more
importantly,
I
help
the
students
in
the
schools
so
that
they
can
get
used
to
the
school
system
of
this
country,
and
then
I
can
also
help
the
parents,
by
making
groups
for
in
the
afternoon
or
at
night
on
how
to
have
better
communication
with
their
children.
A
Well,
then,
you
have
mentioned
here
two
important
areas
of
your
work
in
addition
to
registration
and
the
first
welcome
of
families,
and
they
also
make
an
assessment
of
the
English
language
skills
of
the
Guys.
You
say
you
work
with
students
and
parents.
Let's
start
with
parents
with
families
you
meet
with
e
they
at
night
to
do
what
kind
of
work
they
do.
We.
B
Are
noticing
that
many
students
who
come
to
this
country
are
coming
to
live
with
their
parents
for
the
first
time,?
Maybe
they
lived
with
granny
uncle
aunt
in
their
country
and
then
now
they
are
living
with
their
parents.
One
thing
is
that
communication
is
not
there.
The
parents
have
many
questions
and
are
afraid
of
how
to
talk
to
their
children
and.
A
Why
excuse
me
for
interrupting
you?
It
is
like
they
are
getting
to
know
each
other
again
for
all
of
us
as
a
Hispanic
community.
We
know
that
there
is
a
The
sad
reality
is
when
parents
move
and
migrate
from
their
countries
and
leave
their
children,
as
you
said,
in
the
hands
of
grandparents,
etc.,,
and
then
the
parents
believe
that
in
a
year
or
two
they
will
be
able
to
bring
their
children
to
the
US
but
save
money..
A
A
B
A
And
in
your
case,
as
a
social
worker,
You
really
have
the
preparation
to
also
work
on
these
types
of
cases,
because,
let's
make
it
clear
to
the
Hispanic
audience
that
in
the
US
social
workers
have
a
very
big
job
in
the
area
of
,
emotional
health
and
mental
health
of
people,
right,
okay,,
then
we'll
talk
about
The
parents
all
work
with
them,
groups
like
workshops
with
the
kids,.
What
do
you
do
with
them,?
That's
intermediate
primary,.
What
level
do
you
work
with
the
children.
A
B
I
do
I'm
in
the
classes
and
usually
the
classes
are
done
where
they
receive
more
support
with
English,
and
we
talk
in
a
large
group
or
small
group
about
different
topics.
It
can
be
from
the
feelings
it
can
Whether
it's
how
to
make
friends
or
how
to
have
better
communication
with
teachers
or
parents,.
A
A
A
I
think
that
the
tool
that
you
are
giving
them
in
the
international
student
office
is
something
wonderful
and
I
invite
families
to
be
on
the
lookout.
I
was
when
I
heard
nothing
and
Mrs.
William
is
my
grace.
I,
don't
know
what
she
calls
you
they
come
to
you.
They
contact
you,
because
there
is
support
and
there
are
resources.
A
A
Creating
an
environment
in
which
it
is
a
great
support
because
it
is
scientifically
proven.
There
are
studies
that
say
that,
according
to
how
you
are
emotionally,
you
also
have
the
capacity
to
learn.
So
you
are
not
very
stressed,
there
is
minimal
learning
spokesperson,,
but
if
you
are
not
calm
or
serene,
happy
with
learning,.
The
key
here
also
to
support
our
students
is
parent
participation,
and
you
are
a
specialist
in
that,,
then
give
us
some
advice
on
what
things
parents
can
do
to
participate
in
the
education
of
your
children.
B
In
our
countries
the
parents
send
the
children
to
school,
and
what
the
teacher
says
is
what
the
teacher
says,
but
here
it
is
very
different.
In
In
this
country,
we
want
to
see
that
parents
participate
in
the
schools.
They
can
start
attending
different
programs
at
night,
like
the
first
day
of
the
day
back
to
school.
They
can
get
involved
in
the
pity
that
are.
A
A
B
A
A
And
they
don't
need
to
know
the
english
language,
except
when
parents
parents
are
invited
to
schools,
andando
county
public
schools,
have
a
policy
to
welcome.
Parents
are
open
to
parents,
and
there
is
also
something
that
you
mentioned.
That
is
not
very
obvious,
but
that
I
would
like
us
to
talk
about
is
how
parents
can
become
volunteers
in
schools
how
that
works.
Many.
B
A
B
A
Volunteer
if,
in
general
terms,
for
each
school,
it
varies,
but
normally
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
it
is
strain
they
send
a
ballot.
A
flyer,
a
bulletin
saying
we
are
going
to
have
a
meeting
of
parent
volunteers,
for
example,
I
think
that
this
is
a
way
in
which
parents
can
go
to
school
and,
as
you
say,
they
can
help
in
the
cafeteria
they
can
help
on
excursions
accompanying
is
worth
it.
A
A
I
understand
that
there
are
different
levels
of
volunteering,
but
there
are
mothers
who
have
small
children
and
babies
and
cannot
enter
the
school
with
them
because
they
are
going
to
disturb
the
environment,.
Then
it
is
a
matter
of
agreeing
with
the
teacher
and
the
teacher
can
send
home
work
with
the
student
for
the
mother,
because
you
know
it
is
to
put
hooks
hit
with
I.
Don't
know,
agree
each
school
and
if
the
parents
feel
they
can't
contact
the
teacher
directly,
then
they
can
do
use
of
bilingual
facilitators.
The
opportunities
are
limitless.
A
B
B
Wanted
to
observe
a
math
class.
She
he
observed.
He
understood
mathematics
in
how
they
are
teaching
him
and
then
at
home.
He
began
to
help
the
students
he
sat
with
them
at
the
table.
They
began
to
do
the
problems
together.
There
is
also
mom
wanted
her
students
to
continue
with
the
Spanish
language.
She
took
books
from
the
library
in
Spanish
and
that
can
also
help
you,
even
if
it.
A
A
Me
and
I
loved
these
two
ideas
and
with
which
we
are
basically
going
to
conclude,
our
conversation
is
one
you
can
go
to
observe
a
class
and
math,
not
one
plus
one
is
two
in
all
languages,
different
ways
to
reach
the
result,
then
one
can
sit
and
observe
and
then
understand
at
home
how
to
help
with
homework
and
also
promote,
reading
and
writing
in
Spanish
grace,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
in
the
program.
Thank
you,
salva
to
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
seeing
us
and
see
you
next
time.
