The manual contains materials developed for Spanish-speaking parents in New York City's Community School District 3 that may be useful for other bilingual parent populations in need of English language learning. The materials include a message to parents, in both English and Spanish, about the goals of parent involvement and bilingual education, and articles on: encouraging parent involvement through relevant dialogs in English-as-a-second-language (ESL) classes (sample dialogs are provided); encouraging parent involvement through reading and discussing articles on parenting; parent-teacher workshop agendas to promote cooperation; materials on the culture and customs of the United States, to be used in parent programs; and computer literacy teaching materials.
