The Parent Tool gives parents a template to create a high performing educational culture and climate in the home and school. The parent tool is not a new product for parents but the exciting and virtual way it can be delivered is intended to withstand any disruption in a school’s operation.

Covid 19 has caused many in education to re-imagine the way we deliver education during and after any type of disruptive event or situation. The reality is there is no substitute for a great relationship and collaboration between parents and schools in providing the best education possible for our children. There is a need during and beyond the Covid 19 situation to strengthen that collaboration.

Lesson Learned: We are all aware that the outbreak of Covid 19 had a drastic impact on some aspects of education and the collaboration with parents and schools. The importance of having a seamless educational system that is supportive of the educational needs of our children is extremely important regardless of the circumstances and should be a standard way of doing business.
