In this Common Core Café for Parents workshop, parents will learn about Common Core online resources they can use to help their Intermediate and/or High student with homework assignments, projects, and challenging math problems that will help them achieve the rigor and expectations of the Common Core standards.
Our goal is
to build a bridge of communication with parents, community members, and
educators across Montebello Unified School District to help our students achieve the rigor of
the Common Core State Standards. The goal is to provide parents with useful
resources that they can use the next day with their child. As educators, we are
always thinking of ways we can partner with parents to help them support their
child’s education. I compiled the resources with the collaboration of an
intermediate teacher, Angelica Paz, and a high school teacher, David Keys. We hope that the parents find these resources as
useful as we have in our classroom.
