About Us
We are here to support educators and parents in helping their students or children learn in an empowered way.
Who We Are
Education Rocks was founded by Laura Tisdale and based on the principles of pragmatic, affordable, and adaptable learning opportunities for developing the core life skills of literacy and numeracy. We believe that every learner has the right to quality learning opportunities regardless of their environment.
Who We’re Here To Serve
Teachers and parents are some of the busiest people in the world. Quality learning activities that are engaging, aligned with provincial or state curriculums, and foster a love of learning take copious amounts of time, effort, patience and trial and error to create, test, and revise. This is why we created the Education Rocks K-6 Learning Library for educators, parents, and students alike.
Our Vision & Mission
Our vision and mission are to provide literacy and numeracy learning and teaching opportunities for as many educators, parents and students in Alberta and beyond by offering affordable and adaptable learning activities in elementary and upper elementary education.
