Training

Reviewing and Interpreting Transcripts from Mexico

Description:  This training provides information to empower local school districts to accurately review and interpret transcripts from Mexico. This training will provide districts with the tools to:

  • Reduce the dropout rate of recent immigrant students
  • Increase the graduation rate of recent immigrant students
  • Transfer credits from Mexico accurately
  • Make appropriate placement decisions for students from Mexico
  • Save the district money by keeping students from repeating credits already earned

Participants will leave with an understanding of:

  • Why accurately serving recent immigrant students is essential
  • How the school system in Mexico compares to our system
  • How to read student names
  • How to review and interpret records from Mexico
  • How to request records from Mexico
  • How to send records to Mexico

Participants will receive a binder with the following information:

  • Guide for elementary school transfers
  • Guide for middle school transfers
  • Guide for high school transfer credits by course/content area
  • School year equivalency table
  • Sample transcripts
  • Forms for transfer of credit

Training time:
