- National PTA Resources: When parents
are involved in their children's educations, student achievement
improves. Student academic achievement starts with parents helping
children succeed by providing a home that encourages learning. You
support your child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. Use
these parent
resources
to help your child achieve success in school!
- OSPI Newsletter: Washington State’s Office of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction (OSPI) has debuted an online newsletter called
“TEACH.” According to OSPI, the newsletter will highlight opportunities
for educators and schools, events and trainings, teaching and learning
resources, and features on implementing the Common Core State Standards
in Washington classrooms. Even though its focus is on teachers, a review
of the first edition indicates that this will also be a valuable
resource for parents as well, especially those who want to learn about
resources that may be available to their children’s school or school
district. For example, the inaugural issue highlights the release of a
recently created online resource on dyslexia, with information that is
useful to both teachers and parents. You can review the initial issue of
the newsletter
here.
