Abstract
A significant achievement gap exists in our current educational system between children who are from refugee families and children who are not. This achievement gap can be largely attributed to the lack of partnership within familial and professional relationships. This study seeks to understand the results of using the tool, "Project RAFT," to improve family-professional relationships within the child's education. This study will use a qualitative approach to gather data from interviews with participants to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of this tool. This study is still in progress, however, our anticipated results are that the family will emphasize how difficult it is to be in communication with the child’s teachers. The implications of this study have the potential to be monumental as these results can be expanded and this tool can be shared with a plethora of other educators and families experiencing the same difficulties.
