NEW Toolkit for Community Partners Now Available
We are thrilled to introduce a new toolkit for community partners, A Guide for Partnerships with Districts, Schools, and Families. This resource is thoughtfully designed to provide essential information and practical ideas, empowering districts, schools, and families to support their students effectively within their community.
Don’t forget about the previous Family Toolkits that are also available! These toolkits address common questions from parents and offer strategies for families to engage with districts and schools to foster strong partnerships.
· Understanding a Sounds-First Approach to Reading
· Understanding Student Testing
· Understanding Response to Instruction and Intervention
· A Guide for Parent-Teacher Conferences and Engaging with Your Child’s School
You can access all resources referenced above on the Tennessee Department of Education website under Family & Community Engagement. Please distribute these resources to families and/or community partners via your district website, family engagement events, or any other means of communication you use to assist families and students with their reading needs.
