What is Education Consulting?
Education consulting provides expert guidance to parents and students navigating the education system from preschool through Grade 12. Whether it's understanding school curriculums, transitioning between grade levels, or adapting to a new educational environment, an education consultant offers personalized support to ensure academic success. By equipping parents with the right knowledge and strategies, education consulting helps children thrive both in school and at home. We are located in the Calgary area.
Rooted in Knowledge, Guided by Experience.
Our Mission Statement
At Charted Roots Education Consulting, we believe that a strong society starts with how children are raised at home and supported in their education. However, today’s students face growing challenges—gaps in life skills, personal responsibility, and readiness for the workforce. Without the right foundation at home and in school, many young people struggle to develop independence, accountability, and resilience.
Our mission is to empower parents with the tools and knowledge to guide their children toward success actively. Families play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of engaged, capable, and hardworking citizens by fostering responsibility, discipline, and critical life skills from an early age.
Through personalized consulting, advocacy, and practical strategies, we help families navigate the education system while reinforcing essential values at home. Together, we can ensure that children grow into confident, prepared individuals who contribute meaningfully to society.
“Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement, and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.”
— Bob Keeshan
Facts…….
Recent studies have highlighted concerning trends in student engagement and effort:
Declining Attention Spans: Research indicates that the average person's attention span when using digital devices has decreased from about two and a half minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds today—a 66% reduction over two decades.
Reduced Study Time: Between 1961 and 2004, the average study time for college students fell from 24 hours per week to approximately 11 hours per week.
Increased Inattention: In the 2023-24 school year, 26% of public school leaders reported that student inattention had a severe negative impact on learning, with 75% noting at least a moderate impact.
These trends underscore the importance of fostering focus, responsibility, and a strong student work ethic. At Charted Roots Education Consulting, we are committed to empowering parents with the tools and knowledge to guide their children toward becoming engaged, capable, and resilient individuals.
More recent studies indicate that young adults today achieve financial independence later than previous generations.
A 2019 Pew Research Center study found that while 64% of Americans believe individuals should be financially independent by age 22, only about 24% of young adults reach this milestone by that age.
Additionally, a 2024 report from the Pew Research Center revealed that only 45% of young adults consider themselves completely financially independent from their parents. This trend suggests that many young adults continue to rely on parental support well into their twenties.
These findings highlight a shift in the transition to adulthood, with many young people requiring extended support and guidance compared to previous generations.
Concerning studies and reports indicate a growing trend of young adults involving their parents in professional and academic settings:
Job Interviews: A survey by Resume Templates found that 26% of Gen Z individuals (ages 18 to 27) have brought a parent to a job interview. Among these, 37% had their parent accompany them to the office, 26% had the parent physically sit in the interview room, and 18% said their parent introduced themselves to the hiring manager.
Parental Involvement in Academia: A study published by NASPA revealed that 13% of first-year college students had parents who frequently contacted college officials to intervene on their behalf.
These patterns suggest an increasing reliance on parental involvement among young adults in situations traditionally navigated independently.
