Educational Content and Prep4School
Schools have the ability within Reach to share curated content and resources with their students, staff and parents. When this extension module is enabled for a school, Reach administrators are able to manage custom content visibility and access the library of Prep4School/Prep4Camp videos that provide resources for a variety of common Essential Student Success Skills:
• In-Class Participation• Homesickness Prevention• Recalibrating Your Self-Image• Maximizing Achievement• Coping with Academic Pressure• Efficient Time Management• Advisor Communication• Cross-Cultural Comfort• Restorative Sleep Patterns• Caregiver Support of Students• Summer Camp Success
By watching Prep4 School videos, students learn life skills and build a social-emotional foundation for success—both in and out of school. Each of Prep4 School’s multilingual animations teaches new and returning students (and their caregivers!) the most effective strategies for managing time, preventing homesickness, adjusting to boarding culture, speaking up in class, communicating with advisers, coping with pressure, and more!
Prep4School is committed to worldwide student success, as such their videos are available in an ever-expanding selection of languages. They are the only student resource available in a combination of English + Mandarin (subtitled in both languages), English-only (American accent), English-only (Australian accent), English with Russian subtitles, and English with Spanish subtitles.
Prep4School’s primary audience is students, but we know that caregivers love to know what students are up to, so they did make one video primarily for parents. Caregiver Support for Students is available in the language and subtitle combination of your choice.
Educational Content and Prep4School is an extension module with an additional subscription fee required. Please contact support@reach.cloud to request it to be enabled for your portal. https://lp.reach.cloud/prep4school
