Welcome to MindBuckets! MindBuckets is an educational advocacy group dedicated to promoting the joy of learning and improving student experiences while strengthening family, school and community partnerships. Neither parents nor schools can do it alone. Our children need multiple opportunities to learn and grow at home, in school, and in the community. MindBuckets' Learning Lab* & Lounge is here to help!
TIME with us makes school FUN & EASIER for EVERYONE!
TIME with us is TIME WELL SPENT!
*MindBuckets Learning Lab programs are Challeged-Based & Complementary Learning programs
Complementary Learning is a systemic approach which intentionally integrates both school and non-school supports.
Challenge based learning builds on the practice of problem-based learning, in which students work on real world problems in collaborative teams, but with a key difference at the center of challenge based learning is the use of technology and the call to action that inherently requires students to make something happen.

Building Positive Home-School Partnerships
Family involvement is the most powerful factor in student success! It's importance does NOT end after elementary school. Adolescent learners don't want to be embarrassed-NOT left alone!
This event introduces MindBuckets' 7 Partnership Principles & Practice (7P3) Program through engaging activities and discussion geared to the participant's own communication and learning style preferences. The 7P3 program provides a solution-driven approach that creates sustainable and effective partnerships between all members of the school community, students and their families. Participants will gain the knowledge and resources needed to build easy stress-free partnerships. Each event is specifically designed for the unique needs of our attendees and includes a 7P3 Team Playbook.
REALITY CHECK! Is your child ready for OUR digital world?
Being able to read is not enough - Digital Literacy is the key for future success. Students surf the Internet, play video games and participate in online social media networking BUT are they truly ready for their digital world? Many parents are surprised to learn their "tech savvy" students are NOT "digitally literate." Is your child digitally literate?
In this interactive workshop you will:
1.) Learn the difference between "tech savvy" and "digitally literate"
2.) Explore your own & your child's digital literacy skills
3.) Team with a teacher and build your child's Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) to foster his/her digital literacy.
