Teachers: Connecting Family Learning across Settings
Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop
Teachers do much more than instruct children in the classroom. They also play an important role in supporting learning across settings: at school, home, and throughout the community. The Families Learning Across Boundaries (FamLAB) Project surveyed 407 library professionals, 1,550 parents, and 600 pre-K through grade 8 teachers in the United States about how they support 3-12-year-old children's learning in their communities. This two-page tipsheet provides some research-based suggestions that will help teachers foster their students' natural interests and help families to find opportunities to engage in deeper learning.
