Through a collaboration among Abriendo Puertas, UnboundEd, and CORE Learning, an online video course was created specifically for Spanish-speaking parents of Multilingual Learners to enable them to support and advocate for high-quality, high-impact reading instruction in their children’s districts, schools, and classrooms.
