Guides Created by the National PTA to Explain the Common Core to Your Parents

Did you know that the National PTA® has created guides in response to the Common Core Standards for grades K-8 and two for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics)in both English and Spanish.

Each grade level guide includes:

1) Key items that children should be learning in English language arts and mathematics in each grade, once the standards are fully implemented.

2) Activities that parents can do at home to support their child's learning.

3) Methods for helping parents build stronger relationships with their child's teacher.

4) Tips for planning for college and career (high school only).

CLICK HERE to see examples of these wonderful documents that were created by teachers, parents, education experts, and others from across the country. The guides provide clear, consistent expectations for what students should be learning at each grade in order to be prepared for college and career.

This would be a informative link posted on your school or class website.
