TSI’s Top Resources to Support Student Success
Parent Toolkit
At The Social Institute, we believe in the power of teamwork. Specifically, we believe in parents and educators working together to support the whole student and ignite the fuel to their health, happiness, and future success. That’s why we put together the Parent Toolkit. Through top tech tips, interactive family huddles, and summaries of trending social media apps, the Parent Toolkit gives parents the Student Intelligence they need to comprehend the trends impacting the lives of their students.

Family Huddles
Just like any successful team, it’s important to set aside time to huddle up for open and honest conversations. Family Huddles encourage students to engage with their families through important topics that align with the #WinAtSocial Lessons. These huddles allow time to cultivate meaningful conversations around student experiences, both online and offline. By extending these discussions beyond the walls of the classroom, families are equipped to support their students in a way that promotes future success. Take a closer look at our Family Huddles here.
