Parent Teacher Conferences October 21st through October 24th
Parent-teacher conferences are around the corner and we know there is a lot to cover in a short amount of time! The Parent-Teacher Planning Tool guides you with key questions to ask so you can find out how your child is really doing in school and how you can help at home. The simple 3-step tool is part of our Go Beyond Grades campaign that includes free, easy-to-use resources and videos designed to support family-teacher partnership that is focused on student learning.
In partnership with Understood.org, we’re excited to launch the Learning Heroes Assistant, an AI-powered chatbot on GoBeyondGrades.org. Families like yours can access expert-vetted resources to support your child’s social, emotional, and academic development. The assistant also answers any questions you have about raising children who may have learning and thinking differences.
Cindi Williams took the stage at TEDx to discuss the importance of going beyond grades, building relationships with your child's teacher, and asking the simple questions to get a better understanding of how your child is performing academically. Watch the full TED talk and help share in your networks as you head into parent-teacher conference season.
