Have you heard of NBC News’ Parent Toolkit?

The Parent Toolkit, available in English and Spanish, is a website and mobile app that helps parents navigate their children’s academic development and personal growth.

The resource includes:

• A “growth chart” with grade-by-grade academic benchmarks for Pre-K through 12th grade in math and English language arts;
• Tips and resources for parents to support their children’s learning for Pre-K through 12th grade; and
• A guide to parent-teacher conferences and school counselor meetings.

The goals of this toolkit, which is sponsored by Pearson, are to give parents a clear understanding of what is expected of their children at each step in their academic journey, and to provide a comprehensive set of tips and tools to help parents engage in and monitor their children’s academic development. NBC News enlisted a number of experts, from academics to classroom teachers to parents from across the country, to help review all the content.

NBC News has plans to expand the site to include a Health & Wellness section in Spring 2014, and a Social & Emotional Development section in the fall of 2014.
