At Resolute Education, our WHY is simple: We ignite students' passion for learning by equipping them with the skills to solve tomorrow's problems. We believe coding, engineering, and data science are the cornerstones of 21st-century education, empowering students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and tackle challenges head-on.
The Need: Equipping Educators for EdTech Success
We have seen that the most successful EdTech implementations are led by educators who are willing to fail forward, to learn as they go, and who are driven by the ever-present desire to implement solutions to the maximum benefit of their students.
But statistics raise a few concerns. A 2023 study by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) found that 70% of educators felt they needed to be more adequately prepared to integrate technology effectively into their classrooms. This is where TAO Education Lab (TAO) comes in.
TAO: Building the Bridge Between Educators and EdTech
TAO, founded in collaboration with Reflective Learn and Yenza, is a community-led initiative that understands the WHY behind EdTech—it's not just about shiny new gadgets and programmes. It's about transforming education. We seek to empower educators to leverage technology for better schooling and deeper learning.
Imagine a world where every teacher feels confident integrating cutting-edge tools into their curriculum, a world that fosters both critical thinking and strong character. A world where educators have the support and resources to personalise learning and unleash the full potential of EdTech. This is the future TAO is building.
By joining the vibrant TAO EdTech community, members gain access to the perfect platform for Edtech users to thrive. Here's how:
Membership: Gain access to valuable resources like diagnostic tools, implementation blueprints, and expert webinars on key EdTech topics.
Collaboration: Connect with like-minded educators and schools facing similar challenges in integrating EdTech solutions.
Professional Development: Earn CPD points through TAO's webinars, furthering your expertise in using technology for effective learning.
Partner Network: Access a network of vetted EdTech providers, including Resolute Education.
The best part is that joining the TAO community is absolutely free.
The Resolute Education community can amplify its impact by joining forces with TAO. Together, we can ensure our powerful EdTech tools reach their full potential, empowering educators to ignite a love of learning in every student.
