Go to the Teachers and Families site “Teachers know that children do better when their parents are involved in their education,” said Thomas A. Pyle, NITV’s Executive Director/CEO.  “We wanted to provide a way to connect teachers, parents and children to improve learning using the Internet”.

The pre-school section is arranged according to themes, e.g., letters, numbers, colors, shapes, animals, holidays, seasons, etc.  There are activities and crafts, many of which have math and science dimensions, coloring pages, interactive reinforcement of learning concepts and “printables” for downloading.

The parent’s section contains authoritative information on how children learn and tips to make that process a positive experience for their child.  The additional benefit of this section is the ability of the authors to “translate” clinical material into layman’s terms easily understood by parents.  Regarding special education, for example, there are hundreds of pages of information dealing with disabilities:  the law and responsibilities, evaluations, definitions and characteristics of various disabilities, educational implications, glossary, etc., all written for parental understanding.  There are topics of interest for any parent, irregardless of the age of their children.

The study units contain curriculum-based material covering the most important subject areas (math, science, language arts, social science, art, music, economics, etc.) and all grade levels of K-12 instruction.  Students and/or parents can easily find resources to help with class assignments.  Teachers have selected the top resources from the Internet and teachersandfamilies.com have arranged them in an easy-to-use data base.

The site is free but there are also additional materials available for a nominal annual subscription.
