Parent
Educator Manual
The education of parents and caregivers is one of the primary
objectives of the SEE Initiative. We have created this Parent
Educator Manual as a tool in your extremely
vital role as your child’s first teacher. It serves as a
supplemental guide to parents and caregivers to help children in
the exploration of science, mathematics, and technological
resources. Use the manual to:
- gain a better understanding of informal teaching;
- learn how to appropriately address many mathematics and science
inquiries;
- assist the youngsters in your family and community to explore
the world around them;
- understand how science is connected to everyday
experiences; and, most importantly,
- help your child(ren) make the connection!
Our emphasis in the SEE program
is on “informal” learning.
School can be fun, but learning outside of school can
be fun too! The process of absorbing, processing, and comprehending
does not have to take place in a formal classroom. With an inquisitive
mind, a walk through your yard or local park will open a new world
of experiences. Figuring out why a cake “fell” is scientific,
fattening and fun, especially when the experience is shared with
your child! It is hoped that you will use the Parent
Educator Manual often.
Your children will appreciate the time you spend together and you
may even learn something new! Knowledge is power. Make sure that
YOU empower your children. To schedule or locate a training session wiith you and your community,
please contact the SEE
Facilitator in your area!
