DoCurious is an Academic Bridge Between Teachers and Parents

We know that better test scores and standardized test results are goals that students, parents and school systems all share. And we know that schools, teachers and parents each play an important role in reaching that goal. Likewise, all those groups share a concern that too much screen time is hindering academic results and performance. 

“Screens can improve education and learning; however, too much time spent in front of a screen and multitasking with other media has been related to worse executive functioning and academic performance.” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10353947/

But it’s often difficult to find common ground and simple tools that help unite schools, students and parents, and empower them to partner on real solutions. That’s where the DoCurious marketplace comes in.

DoCurious Challenges Help Academic Performance

DoCurious is the most innovative source of real-world challenges that help young people build life-skills, break digital addictions, and boost confidence. The challenges help create the right balance of technology and real-world experiences. Completing DoCurious challenges not only helps students gain new skills and confidence, it also replaces overuse of screens with authentic activities. As a result, students’ academic performance improves, helping teachers, parents and the students themselves. In addition, student’s social and connection skills improve, helping school connectedness and community.

The DoCurious Marketplace Bridges the Needs of Schools and Parents

DoCurious challenges are accessed through our proprietary activity marketplace. It’s an online collection of activities of all shapes and sizes that help young people enhance skills they already have and develop new ones. The marketplace is a simple and transparent way that parents and teachers can work together in choosing the best skills and challenges for individual students or entire classrooms. And each student has a personal ‘track record’ in the marketplace to document their accomplishments (a key component of positive psychology), and which parents and teachers alike can use to track progress.

Setting a Collaboration Example

Lastly, parents and schools working together sets a great example for today’s young people on how different groups can work together to reach a common goal. The breadth of challenges mean some activities help students be more successful in school, some help with family life and some enable both.
