q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Focus group subtheme on inclusive and student-engaged learning. Youth such as Emma imagined “two teachers—one who speaks English and one who speaks Spanish,” and parents described hands-on learning: “A lot of times they learn when they’re doing something.”

"In addition to changing instructional practices to support students’ language needs, participants wished for homework to be available in Spanish to facilitate parent engagement in students’ learning by being able to help them with their assignments."
