Summer learning — July 17
Education is constantly evolving. Take, for example math requirements for students. When I was in high school the requirement was three years of math. The Class of 2014 will have to complete four credits to graduate. And I graduated just six years ago.
Because requirements are getting tougher and students are learning materia, like Algebra, at a younger age than in previous years. That can make it tough to determine what skills are at the appropriate grade level for your child to practice to avoid the summer slide. The Ohio Department of Education offers downloadable guides on academic content standards for parents. The guide is available for grades K-8 and covers a variety of subjects (math science, social studies, etc.) and provides concrete skills to work on with your child. You can choose the guide for the grade your child was in for 2007-08 to review last year’s lessons of skip ahead to next year’s for a head start.
