Their search dialog box comes with a Spanish explanation clearly
visible underneath. This gives most of the 34 million Spanish
speaking Americans an opportunity to participate in their
children’s education.
Their search function runs through many sites carefully selected
by education specialists that provide the best information to
parents. Their search engine is very comprehensive and searches
all levels of the selected sites, not just the top few layers,
like most search engines. The search results are rated for
compatibility with your criteria and arranged in order from most
to least compatible.
They designed a search engine that will look in all levels of
those websites for articles matching the keyword(s) you enter,
and present those results to you. The best, most exact matches
are rated with four stars, next best with three stars, and so
on. You may then click on an article's link to read it.
ParentSmart's team also provides reliable reviews of articles to
help direct your search for information. Their articles are
sorted by category and you may select any topic to read the
reviews of articles on that subject. If, after perusing the
review, you wish to read the article, they provide that link, as
well.
How does ParentSmart choose its articles to publish on the site?
Articles must: be parent-friendly, i.e., recognizing the time
constraints of busy parents; be of reasonable length; Have
relatively clear and jargon-free language; suggest and/or detail
actions that can be taken by parents; respond to questions
parents ask most about their children's education; be based upon
sound research; not be exploitative and misleading in context.
ParentSmart is currently in a partnership with the Arizona
Community Foundation to bring their website into schools and
organizations throughout the state of Arizona. They plan to
expand to other states as well.
