A high school principal in Pennsylvania currently oversees an elementary school where a majority of the students don’t speak English. This has made it difficult for the students to be more involved in scholastic activities. The elementary school is not alone in dealing with this situation. There are many principals who are struggling to manage schools where students don’t speak or understand English. While these children may not speak English, there are also many adults who don’t speak English either. In the United States, 15 percent of adults don’t speak English at home. When it comes to students who don’t speak English in the United States, either they or their parents were not born in the United States and further more
In an effort to resolve this issue, ClassDojo introduced a new program called Translate. Three years ago ClassDojo developed the program in order to help schools provide an easier learning environment for non English speaking students. This program was created in 36 hours which makes it one of the most remarkable accomplishments in the education system in recent years. Little did ClassDojo know that this program would make a significant impact on how schools taught their students. Every week, there are over 270,000 messages that are translated with the program. Since developing Translate, ClassDojo has been able to make a big difference in the quality of education for many schools in the nation.
Once the program was developed, ClassDojo has been able to ensure that children attending school avoid falling behind. With the use of Translate, students who don’t speak English are now able to complete homework assignments, improve reading skills and attend class trips. This program has also allowed teachers to hold conferences with parents as well. As a result, of the Translate program, the educational system is now in better position to accommodate students who don’t speak English as their first language.
