To the right is a heading 'Included Resources". Below that heading are handouts that are referenced and used throughout this webinar.

Overview:

Parents often become involved in their children's education through homework. Whether children do homework at home, complete it in after school programs or work on it during the school day, homework can be a powerful tool for (a) letting parents and other adults know what the child is learning, (b) giving children and parents a reason to talk about what's going on at school, and (c) giving teachers an opportunity to hear from parents about children's learning. The goal of this module is to provide content and resources for teachers to support the development of interactive homework for families, communicate information to families about the curriculum and provide specific supports for families of students with disabilities.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe components of quality interactive homework for families
2. Identify tools to share information about the curriculum with families
3. Plan which resources need to be shared with families of children with disabilities
