Free Resources for Families and Educators

Making Sense Family Resources is a library of online videos and supplementary resources for families and educators. An experienced team of content specialists, along with a team of videographers, developed Making Sense Resources in four areas: mathematics, literacy, early childhood, and autism spectrum. 

Each module includes a video scenario illustrating a specific concept and printable resources that can be downloaded and used with students. The specific content in each module is clearly defined. Both families and educators will find these resources useful.

The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing: families have a major influence on their children’s achievement in school and through life…. When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more. (p. 7)
