Every parent wants to help their child succeed in school. But it’s not always easy to figure out how to do it. And between all the carpools and errands, the meals to cook and the chores to finish, it’s sometimes hard to find the time to eat a full meal, let alone troll the web for education information!
Our mission is to help you find the answers to all of your questions, under one roof. And to inspire you with ideas that make learning a part of your family’s everyday life.
What is education.com?
Education.com is an online resource for parents with kids in preschool through grade 12.
On our site you can:
- Search over 4,000 reference articles from the best and most authoritative sources across the web. From the NYU Child Study Center to the Autism Society of America, Reading is Fundamental to Stanford University School of Education, our Reference Desk brings the best information from the most trusted universities, professional associations, non-profit institutes, and government agencies together in one place.
- Browse our online magazine for hundreds of ideas that take learning beyond the classroom and into your family’s everyday life. We cover topics across the parental spectrum-- from practicing fractions by baking cookies, to how to deal with ADHD, bullying, to navigating the parent-teacher conference.
- Explore virtual neighborhoods where parents with similar interests or challenges connect to trade advice and share their experiences with one another—whether it’s about dyslexia or dioramas.
Together, we’ll explore the latest thinking in education. We’ll read cutting edge articles, hear from recognized experts, and discover innovative ways to help our kids learn. We’ll find out what educators, parents, and specialists have to say about nutrition, social skills, and teaching kids critical thinking and problem solving. For all our questions, to meet our child’s specific needs, we’ll find our answers here—the traditional and trusted, the progressive and new.
Together, we’ll share our stories, our situations, and the happy, (and sometimes hard), lessons experience has taught us. We’ll point each other to the resources, discussions, and threads that helped us and steered us through. We’ll collaborate and validate, expert to expert, friend to friend, exchange tips, swap strategies, and cheer each other on. Our children may be special and one of a kind, but the goal of a smarter, healthier and happier child is one and the same.
Together, we’ll build a website for all of us. A great, global show and tell. A place where educators and parents can get credible information and utilize technology’s latest, but most usable tools. But also, and always, a place for exploration, where parents are free to hunt, peck, and click their way through. We’ll offer ideas, we’ll contribute suggestions. We’ll improve it each day. And together we’ll build a smart and safe site where the passion and pursuit of quality education is a shared activity and uniting ideal.
