As November opens it's eyes and we join it in truly welcoming Fall into our grasp, one other thing waits upon the horizon: Conferences.
Some of my teacher friends are already well underway with their conferences -- but here in the Western pocket we have a few more days.
After preparing conference folders last week, I came across some helpful tools that I will be using this year to help parents understand what we do here at school.
Here are some of the things in my toolbox this year.
They are mighty helpful ::: use them if you like!
First up: a video that concisely explains the Common Core and its expectations for students and teachers. This video is free to use as you'd like (meaning it can even be put on your school website)!
Next up:
Some really nice handouts and roadmaps to lead your parents through what the CCSS means and how they can be supportive of these expectations on their end!
These Parents' Guide to Student Success Printable Flyers provide
an organized overview of what your child will learn by the end of their
academic year in both math and English language arts/literacy.
Click here to access these flyers in color (they are also available in B&W)
Lastly,
Some printable Parent Roadmaps from The Council of Great City Schools.
These resources guide parents about what their
children will be learning and how they can support that learning in
grades K-8. These Parent Roadmaps also
provide three-year snapshots showing how selected standards progress
from year to year so that students will be college and career ready.

I hope this are as useful to you as they are to me!
