On Tuesday, September 16th, ABC 7 News aired a
report on
"Great Expectations", a parent resource booklet developed by the NYC Department of Education. Available in 9 different language formats (English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Korean and Haitian Creole), the guides lay out in parent-friendly language the major elements of what children are learning--particularly in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, which are the focus of these guides. Families can obtain copies of these guides from the parent coordinator at their child's school. They can also visit the DOE's
Academics page to view and download the booklet in all 9 language formats.
