Our family made the switch to online school because my daughter was really looking for greater academic challenge. And when my daughter was really feeling like she wanted to explore other options, first thing I thought of was Connections Academy and it was just a wonderful fit for us.
Connections Academy has a variety of resources for learning coaches. Many of them have interactive chat sessions so you can talk to other learning coaches. I also work and have my own business and so I'm not always able to attend all the Learning Coach sessions live. But they record them and put them in the library so I can go back and then weed through them and find the ones that are most helpful to me.
I think one of the most surprising benefits of Connections Academy has really been, I feel more in touch with what my daughter's working on and I can monitor her progress and approve her lessons in real time throughout the day while I'm at my job.
The material is easy to find, easy to navigate. I can see in real time what she's working on and she can see the lesson, videos, everything in one place.
And now I can speak regularly within hours with a teacher about work that's happening right now. And it's such a supportive experience that I hoped for some of it, but I just I could never have expected it to be as good as it has been.
