As a student who struggled academically, I know that I owe my ability to graduate high school and go on to obtain my masterâ€™s degree to my parents and sister. Through school, my family consistently worked with me to understand my assignments and ensure that I was submitting correct work. At the time, I think we all took for granted their backgrounds as teachers and the fact that they knew HOW to help me. After 12 years of teaching it has become apparent to me that not every student has the luxury of growing up in a house full of teachers who know exactly what to do to ensure their academic success.I wrote this guide to assist the average parent in ensuring their child has success in school. As an educator in the public-school system, I often see parents who WANT to help their struggling child, but donâ€™t know HOW. The landscape of education is constantly changing. When a parent tries to offer academic support, they quickly discover that things no longer look the way they did when they were in school. I sit in meetings with extremely frustrated parents who are simply at a loss for how to navigate today's classroom materials.This guide will walk you through how to communicate with your childâ€™s teachers about grades and expectations. It will guide you through effective use of a textbook. It provides tools and strategies for research and writing. It offers tips and tricks for studying and test taking. It lists low cost technology that has been created to assist students learning and comprehension. It will also show you how to decode standards and the Common Core to successfully focus on significant information and predict what material will be tested.My goal is to see every student succeed in school by providing the parents with the same understanding of the education system that my family had while they were helping me. This guide will take you step by step through the various aspects of the education system. It will help you create a partnership with the school to bring up your childâ€™s grades and keep them academically on track.
