Sample Parent Letter
Dear Parent,
It gives us lot of pride in sharing that our school has taken initiative to offer personalized
learning for every child through ‘Mindspark’. This will ensure that our students are
prepared for the fast-changing global scenario, having a deeper understanding of
concepts. Given below are the complete details on how Mindspark will transform learning
for your Child and help you engage your child in a richer learning experience. We look
forward for your cooperation and contribution in our continuous endeavour to empower
children to become self-reliant learners. Kindly sign & send consent slip provided at the
end with your feedback.
Mindspark is an internet based self-learning program. Each child logs in individually, and
learns by answering questions of progressively increasing difficulty. Mindspark works
on an ‘Adaptive learning logic’ which is what all future learning systems will carry to
personalize the learning. This enables Mindspark to adapt to every child’s level and serve
the right, personalized & relevant content. Mindspark continuously helps your child learn,
get assessed and get real time feedback through explanations with visuals and animation.
Your child will do Mindspark as a part of the school curriculum for 2 periods per week
in school. The best part of Mindspark is that child can even do Mindspark from home.
Mindspark acts as an ‘Assistant Teacher’- somebody who identifies child-specific as well
as common learning difficulties and remedies most of them. Visit www.mindspark.in for
more details.
A Holistic Program:
Impact on Child:
Students learn, understand, think analytically, enjoy
and master mathematics at their own pace.
Impact on School:
It provides teachers with tools to identify learning gaps & misconceptions of students so
that it can be addressed immediately instead of waiting till the end of the term. Hence
Mindspark helps improve teaching in school significantly.
Impact on Parent:
Assistant Teacher:
Saves parents their time, energy and money which they would spend on engaging personal
tutors as Mindspark works as an assistant teacher.
Self-Learning:
Mindspark being a self-learning program, it does not need any adult supervision or
involvement.
Engagement:
Students love doing Mindspark and hence parents can very easily engage their child in
doing Mindspark. They will become self-motivated and will WANT to learn.
