Quest - Learning Heroes
Parents
Although
learning is a natural process, its power can be lessened
or deepened through appropriate interactions, support, and
strategies. A child’s exposure to learning opportunities
and the support given to the learning child make significant
differences. Parents therefore play a significant role in
helping the Empowered Learner successfully navigate the
Learning Quest.
Please
note: the Self Paced Modules are provided
through a special agreement between GKE,
NYIT's
Education Enterprise Zone, the
Nassau BOCES New York State Virtual Learning Space,
and other partners. If you are having difficulty accessing
