Parent and Family Content Support Guides

As part of our Rethink Education mission, we will provide parent guides to accompany our high-quality, standards-aligned and culturally relevant remote learning content for grades K-8. We want to support parents of students who are engaged in remote learning. We know from COVID 19 that many parents were at a loss in how to support their children in an online learning environment.  In order to build parent capacity for future learning disruptions, there will be parent guides that will accompany all created K-8 content.  These parent guides explain the content in straightforward terms so they can support their children’s learning at home and will encourage caretaker engagement with lessons. As courses are developed, Parent Guides will be added to this resource page.
