What is TheSchoolBus?

TheSchoolBus is an innovative online platform designed to support educators by providing a comprehensive range of educational resources and tools. It serves as a one-stop solution for teachers, school leaders, and administrators, offering access to a vast library of materials that cater to various educational needs. The platform is user-friendly and aims to enhance the teaching and learning experience by making high-quality resources easily accessible.

One of the standout aspects of TheSchoolBus is its extensive collection of lesson plans, policy templates, and professional development materials. These resources are meticulously curated to ensure they meet the highest educational standards. Additionally, TheSchoolBus offers a range of interactive tools that facilitate collaboration among educators, enabling them to share best practices and innovative teaching strategies. The platform also provides regular updates on educational policies and trends, ensuring that users stay informed about the latest developments in the education sector.

Implementation of TheSchoolBus in schools typically involves a straightforward onboarding process where educators are given access to the platform through individual or institutional subscriptions. Schools often integrate TheSchoolBus into their existing systems, allowing teachers to seamlessly incorporate the resources into their daily teaching routines. Training sessions and support are provided to ensure that all users can effectively navigate and utilize the platform's features. This integration helps schools to streamline their resource management and enhance the overall quality of education provided to students.

Set Up

We work with you to plan your system and set it up to match your requirements, e.g. recreating lesson observation forms, determining check-in dates, agree your strategic goals and outcomes, etc. This is done in an session which usually lasts around an hour. We then aim to have you up and running within one working day.

Training

We currently provide an optional demonstration of the product at sign up by our Customer Engagement Team as part of the onboarding process. To improve customer experience, we are also looking to load page-specific videos on to each main page which will show the user around any time in about 30-60 seconds.
