“At Paloma, we are harnessing AI to facilitate parent-teacher collaboration around student learning and reimagining the nexus of home & school—from report cards to parent-teacher conferences—to unleash parents’ untapped teaching potential.”
“At 8 years old as a Korean immigrant at a new school in a new country, I didn’t speak a word of English. But, my mother was able to use the little English she knew to talk to my teachers about how she could help me at home. I founded TalkingPoints based on this belief that the difference between my mother and my peers’ parents wasn’t love, but access to the skills and tools to support my learning.”
“At PimsPoints, we believe that every child’s education is important and we motivate parents to engage in their child’s education daily. We are exploring how to serve and empower everyone, without exception.”
“Learning Heroes is honored to partner with Great Minnesota Schools and Prodeo Academy in strengthening their family engagement strategies centered on trust and focused on student outcomes. We’re inspired by their commitment to elevate family voice as part of improving the home-school relationship.”
“Building meaningful relationships with school and homes around student engagement and connectivity is the foundation of education. Our goal is to create this needed bridge so parents not only have the necessary information about how their child is showing up but are also engaged in the process of co-creating solutions with the school district.”
“Through our success plans, families develop annual goals for each student and we support them in evaluating their progress and celebrating their successes. This motivates families to actively participate in their child’s path to high school graduation and college. ”
