Help Teach Your Children is an information and resource initiative devoted to inspiring and enabling parents/guardians to actively contribute to their children’s K-12 education and capacity to learn. This information is always of interest to parents and is readily available on a vast scale, but its immediate relevance is traditionally difficult to process and apply to each parent’s and child’s needs or challenges.

Purpose: To provide simplified, straightforward insight, information, guidance, assistance, direction and resources based on the individual needs, interests and capacities of each child and parent; to enable parents to collaborate with their children’s teachers in their shared goal to educate students and accelerate the learning process. In short, to engage parents in contributing to the success of education reform one child at a time – theirs!

Method: Clear, concise email communications to those who express interest; subjects and resources address:

2010 National and state education policy and standards that affect how a child performs and is
assessed

The common core and 21st century skills and aptitudes every student must acquire per subject and grade, and by which their child’s aptitudes will be measured

Struggling students – how to recognize, correct and pre-empt the child who is “struggling” - in any subject, grade, or skill

Simple, everyday “non-academic” strategies for parents to help develop and exercise a child's common core and 21st century skills

Homework Helpers – resources including actual teacher and student lesson plans for K-12 core subjects and skills that can help parents become “instant experts” when last minute help with homework is needed
