BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The current system is failing most of our children.

Waiting for the system to fix the crisis is not working.

More of the same is not working.

Every family wants their children to succeed.

Most recognize the system is not meeting their needs but they are not sure how to fix it.

Most parents don't know what to do or how to help.

The Movement Team has developed a deep understanding of the learning process and how to optimize learning effectiveness to improve educational outcomes.

We have teamed with industry leaders to make their tools and programs available to families. These resources are based upon over 50 years of research and field work.

We have demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach in several schools.

We have learned that it takes an integrated holistic approach.

We had hoped to generate change in the education system based upon our proven results. We were wrong.

It will take too much time to effect any significant change.

But our children cannot wait.

The only viable solution is to engage and support families so they have the resources to help their children succeed now.
