EdTech and PowerSchool Join Forces for Student Success
Educators, administrators, and parents are always on the lookout for innovative ways to help students thrive and reach their full potential. In a bid to meet this need, PowerSchool, the leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America, has recently announced a collaboration with Skooli, an online tutoring platform that provides students with personalised learning support.
This association will enable district administrators that use PowerSchool Schoology Learning, part of the Personalized Learning Cloud, to access Skooli’s comprehensive academic tutoring programs backed by over 1.2 million professional teachers. Skooli ensures that all tutors are carefully vetted and have the necessary qualifications and certifications in various subjects and languages. They also hold teaching licenses, hold higher-ed degrees, and have passed a Level 2 criminal record check or the international equivalent.
Commenting on the announcement, Marcy Daniel, Chief Product Officer of PowerSchool, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Skooli to offer their online tutoring programs to PowerSchool’s expansive network of K-12 schools. Through this collaboration, administrators can quickly provide students and teachers with access to support without ever leaving the Schoology Learning platform.”
Skooli is dedicated to providing equitable access to high-quality education for students worldwide. The platform offers a comprehensive online tutoring solution to combat learning loss and improve student outcomes. With 24/7 drop-in support and high-dosage tutoring programs, the platform ensures students get the help they need when they need it the most.
Rene Frey, Chief Executive Officer of Skooli, also expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the critical role of exceptional educators in driving student success. He said, “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 alliance, Skooli was a proud sponsor at the highly anticipated PowerSchool EDGE conference held between July 9-12, 2023, in Orlando, FL. Skooli shared insights during their speaking engagement, showcasing how this partnership will support student learning recovery.
Richard Adair, CEO of Pluribus, which owns Skooli, said, “I am excited about the strategic channel partnership between PowerSchool and Skooli. This collaboration combines PowerSchool’s powerful education technology platform and Skooli’s exceptional online tutoring services. We aim to enhance education by leveraging technology and personalized learning by combining our strengths. This partnership will give students greater access to high-quality education and support teachers in effective instruction. Together, we strive to positively impact learning outcomes and foster equitable opportunities for academic success.”
PowerSchool’s mission is to power the education ecosystem with unified technology that helps educators and students realize their full potential in their way. The platform connects students, teachers, administrators, and parents, with the shared goal of improving student outcomes.
With PowerSchool’s commitment to providing secure software for K-12 education through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the US Department of Education, as well as Skooli’s dedication to providing equitable access to high-quality education, this partnership is sure to bring about positive changes in the EdTech landscape.
Let’s hope that the collaboration between PowerSchool and Skooli will help students get better grades and succeed in their learning journey!
