Teachers should have a platform developed so that parents can access the curricular tools all the time (Not just Back to School Night)

Back to school night should be a time for parents to get to know the basics

Back to school night should also focus on relationship building

Parents should understand how students are being assessed and what each rating means

Maybe at a district level there should be an "at a glance" document for parents to see the scope and sequence of the curriculum throughout the year

Maybe provide exemplars around this.

Concerns that if we put this out there then there is more input from parents that may be moderating the curriculum and taking away teachers ability to choose when and how to teach

Maybe even pair it down even further into just Topics so that the teacher can still have flexibility of pacing within the curriculum

Not readily accessible in Bridge to Curriculum (which is not clear and consistent aside from essential understandings)

The more activities and assessments that are produced, the more transparency there is between teacher, district, and greater community about what will be learned

The transparency of things like textbooks help parents understand the curriculum or assist parents in helping their teacher.

Where can they go to find resources for helping their students succeed.

Teaching students to become more independent learners and giving parents resources around how to help their student become more independent learners and more able to advocate for their own learners. Don't necessarily have to know all of the details of the curriculum, but do need to know what learning should look like/how to navigate the schedule and processes of the class

Standards being met in each room, major concepts, any potentially hot button topics (evolution, religion) that will be covered. Teachers should also share where families can find more information about what's going on in class (google classroom guardian, video memos home, etc)

# data[].attributes.body
Kahoots or bingo type games to keep families engaged during discussions about curriculum in each room. Perhaps some door prizes for completed/correct submissions? They need to cover units of study, grading practices, late work policies, absence policies. Teachers should also plan to discuss when/where/how parents can expect to hear from them.

# data[].attributes.body
As a large group, discuss the point of contact for concerns (whether that be the teacher for that content, a homeroom teacher, etc.) and identify resources for families to be found online. Relatedly, make it an expectation for teachers to have curriculum information and communication available linked from the website in some way.

Teachers should have training so they can basically answer Chalk's  "8 Questions Parents Have About Your Curriculum". Also when teachers particularly know the answer to Q2: what  are the most important ideas my child needs to understand this year? They can focus on these for both their teaching and assessment process. This will: reduce stress and teachers being overwhelmed; increase communication with parents; clarify what needs to be accomplished by year's end, etc.. Teachers are more likely to buy in when they see the value for their students and for them.
