TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2023
/CNW/ - Skooli, a Pluribus Technologies (TSXV: PLRB) portfolio
company, today announced a new collaboration with PowerSchool, the
leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in
North America. The collaboration
will provide district administrators that use PowerSchool Schoology
Learning, part of the Personalized Learning Cloud, access to
Skooli's comprehensive academic online tutoring programs powered by
over 1.2 million professional teachers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant learning loss,
erasing almost two decades of progress in math and reading.
High-poverty schools have been hit the hardest, and over 50% of
students are now behind their grade level in at least one subject.
Skooli offers a comprehensive online tutoring solution to combat
learning loss by improving student outcomes and providing equitable
access to professional teachers. With 24/7 drop-in support and
high-dosage tutoring programs, Skooli ensures students receive the
help they need when they need it most.
Students can engage in personalized 1:1 online sessions with
educators who are carefully vetted with a Level 2 criminal record
check or the international equivalent, including screening
interviews per the guidelines from the International Task Force for
Child Protection. All tutors hold teaching licenses, are
experienced teachers and/or hold higher-ed degrees, with
specialized qualifications and certifications in a variety of
subjects and languages.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Skooli to offer their
online tutoring programs to PowerSchool's expansive network of K-12
schools," Marcy Daniel, Chief
Product Officer at PowerSchool "Through this collaboration,
administrators can easily provide students and teachers a way to
access support without ever leaving the Schoology Learning
platform."
Rene Frey, CEO of Skooli,
conveyed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the
critical role of exceptional educators in driving student success.
He commented, "We recognize the profound influence a great teacher
can have on student outcomes. As the only online tutoring company
attached to a teacher licensure and recruitment platform, Skooli is
dedicated to providing equitable access to high-quality education
for students worldwide."
To showcase the impact of this collaboration, Skooli was a proud
sponsor at the highly anticipated PowerSchool EDGE conference
July 9-12, 2023, in Orlando, FL. As a gold sponsor of this event,
Skooli shared insights during their speaking engagement, showcasing
how this partnership will support student learning recovery.
The PowerSchool EDGE conference brought together education
leaders, administrators, and technology decision makers, providing
an unparalleled platform for thought-provoking discussions and the
exploration of cutting-edge ed tech solutions. Skooli's active
involvement in this event underscores their unwavering commitment
to advancing the field of education and contributing to the ongoing
evolution of the ed tech landscape.
"I am excited about the strategic channel partnership between
PowerSchool and Skooli. This collaboration brings together
PowerSchool's powerful education technology platform and Skooli's
exceptional online tutoring services. By combining our strengths,
we aim to enhance education by leveraging technology and
personalized learning. This partnership will provide students with
greater access to high-quality education and support teachers in
delivering effective instruction. Together, we are striving to make
a positive impact on learning outcomes and foster equitable
opportunities for academic success." - Richard Adair, CEO of Pluribus.
