Building a Strong ELAC Team
ELAC is most powerful when a team comes together, each bringing unique strengths and essential skills to support multilingual learners and their families, and to build connection, trust, and shared leadership.
No single role can do this work alone. When administrators, educators, family engagement staff, and family leaders work together, ELAC becomes more than a meeting. It becomes a space where relationships grow, families feel a sense of belonging, and meaningful input can shape school decisions.
