Univision Updates Clave al Éxito

Univision is set to release Phase II of its tool for Spanish-speaking parents, Clave al Éxito (Key to Success). This tool is aligned to the Common Core and features the following:

  • Grade-by-grade guides on what children should be learning each year
  • A Parent Academy with comprehensive videos and tools for parents to engage in their child’s education
  • Grade-specific book recommendations
  • Direct links to Smarter Balanced practice tests

Clave al Éxito has also recently been updated to provide content in both Spanish and English as well as expanding the resources to facilitate communication between teachers and Spanish-speaking parents. The tool now links directly to Smarter Balanced Practice Tests with plans to connect to the Smarter Balanced Spanish web page and resources.
