Use this home/school checklist to document strategies
that work at home and at school.
LDA Minnesota has developed the Home and
School Checklist to serve as an MRI of your child’s
learning abilities. This handy tool works in several
ways: 1) facilitates communication between you and the
teacher; 2) sends the message that you are a valuable
resource and part of the team; 3) prompts the teacher
to share with you effective classroom strategies that
can help at home.
