TALMOS Connect - promoting parental engagement

Meeting the DCSF 2010 targets now!

Package 1 imageWith Microsoft SharePoint at the heart of this solution we offer single sign on access to all school systems including Microsoft Exchange, library systems, revision systems, content, Moodle and much more. TALMOS Connect provides read /write access to SIMS for teachers enabling assessment data to be entered from anywhere.

Parental engagement is key and TALMOS Connect offers a two way communication between the school and the parent. The parent simply logs on to their easy to use Dashboard and they have all of the information they need at their finger tips including homework detail, timetables, attendance and assessment information. Research shows that when a parent talks to their child about school they are seen to improve their grades, enabling the parent to see their child’s current, marked and outstanding works increases communication and encourages family learning. A parent can become more involved in their child’s education by being able to track their child’s learning. TALMOS Connect offers peace of mind with real time attendance, assessment and behaviour information available to them at login.

The parent has the ability to collaborate with teachers through surveys, wiki’s, forums and blogs.
