Parenting Resources
As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life, and this role does not come with a manual or job description. PTA has gathered resources to help provide parents with best practices to help you navigate this important role in your child's success.
Common Core Hawaii Standards Assessment and Accountability Guide
As part of our ongoing commitment to support parents and educators as the Common Core State Standards are implemented in classrooms across the country, National PTA® and the Hawaii State PTSA are pleased to announce the launch of Common Core Hawaii Standards Assessment and Accountability Guide. Developed in collaboration with the Center for Strategic Research and Communication, and with input from the Hawaii Department of Education, this Guide features information in parent-friendly language, including background on the standards and state-specific information about their assessment consortium, the testing timeline, sample test questions, impacts on students, new accountability systems and ways for parents to get involved and support their child’s learning at home.
This Assessment and Accountability Guide is a companion to National PTA’s popular Parent’s Guide to Student Success, (see below) which has been used throughout the nation by parents, school districts, community partners and departments of education. The grade-by-grade guide explains the Common Core State Standards and key items that children should be learning in English and math, features activities parents can do at home to support their child’s learning, and highlights questions parents can ask their child’s teacher.
