A revolutionary approach to parent engagement
Lessonbank redefines parent engagement by giving parents visibility into the classroom instructional process for the first time ever.
Lessonbank enables parents to watch videos of their child's actual classes--complete with the ability to search topics by keyword or date. Parents can even access analytics to see which lectures their child has or has not watched.
Lessonbank is a progressive web app that works on any device--including cell phones, PCs, and tablets. Lessonbank is available 24/7/365--even after students graduate--serving as a searchable knowledge base of their educational journey
Why does it matter?
For decades, researchers have pointed to one key success factor that transcends nearly all others, such as socioeconomic status, student background or the kind of school a student attends: parental involvement.
The extent to which schools nurture positive relationships with families — and vice versa — makes all the difference, research shows. Students whose parents stay involved in school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills and adapt better to school.
Parental involvement also more securely sets these students up to develop a lifelong love of learning, which researchers say is key to long-term success.
A generation ago, the National PTA found that three key parent behaviors are the most accurate predictors of student achievement, transcending both family income and social status:
Creating a home environment that encourages learning;
Communicating high, yet reasonable, expectations for achievement; and
Staying involved in a child’s education at school.
What’s more, researchers say when this happens, the motivation, behavior and academic performance of all children at a particular school improve. Simply put, the better the partnership between school and home, the better the school and the higher the student achievement across the board.
