In 2023 Jon was the co-founder and co-creator of ‘From The Sidelines’, a programme of resources to educate parents and carers on the science behind how our children learn, together with how to create the perfect environment at home in which to support them. This is broken down into distinct areas of focus, giving parents all the expert knowledge they need but designed in a fresh and modern way to reach and engage the parents of today.
Each distinct focus has a short and succinct ‘Study Hack’ video that lasts approx 1 minute, giving parents a quick and practical overview of what it is and how to do it. Then for parents who are intrigued and want to know more, they can watch or listen to the 15 minute ‘Podcast Episode’ linked to the same topic, which gets under the surface of why this works, why it’s important and also what to avoid - the perfect way to bridge the gap between teaching and parenting. There is also an accompanying infographic that parents can save to their camera roll, providing them with a 5 step process to follow with their child for each area of focus.
