MARIO CONNECT - February 2023
Message from?Our?Executive Chairperson
Hi Everyone,
?February has been a busy month for the MARIO Framework.?We secured partnerships with some key movers and shakers in the education world (really good people too) and our network is growing rapidly.?World domination??Not quite yet, but we're excited at what the future holds. This month I visited some of our MARIO-affiliated schools in Thailand, and others that we hope will join us in the future. It's clear that, although COVID-19 has left an indelible mark on our society, schools have done a fantastic job in re-engaging students and providing high levels of care and support where needed.?This is one of a number of areas where we can help.?Our MARIO for Me software prepares the ground for powerful conversations with students, and tracks learning and wellbeing on a weekly or even daily basis so that no young people fall through the cracks.?Our elementary/primary school version launches at the end of this month.?As a former teacher of young children, I'm really excited to see this version - many thanks to the schools that helped us in the early, exploratory stages.
There are a few spots still available for what will probably be our final Early Adopter cohort, with huge discounts on software and courses.?We may be able to delay the scheduled March?kick-off for some schools, but the sooner we onboard a school, the more time they have to see how MARIO for Me can be transformative in the classroom and on a whole-school level.?Contact me if you're interested and I'll jump on a call to discuss next steps.?Remember, our approach is strongly research-supported which is one of the reasons we're so confident you'll see improvements in student learning and wellbeing, along with teachers who are more efficient and empowered.?
Next stops for me and my travel companion MARIO, are India (multiple cities) and Germany for the ECIS Conference in Düsseldorf. I hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
?Graeme
