| Adults have the opportunity
to improve their English and education skills by participating
in classes which meet at the local library, school, or in a
home. Parents can study English as a Second Language (ESL),
or attend classes for GED preparation, basic education, high
school credit, or citizenship preparation. By advancing
their education, parents can better assist their children with
homework, read to them more often, and demonstrate the importance
of education through their example. |

| The ESL classes
use a textbook called Crossroads as a basis.
In addition, they use Getting to Know U.S. Schools:
Communication Skills for Parents, an ESL curriculum developed
by Project MAX staff to help parents to understand the school’s
expectations and to learn the English they need to communicate
with their child’s school. It teaches necessary skills,
such as how to read a report card and write a note to the teacher. |
