IQ: Consumer Education at Educators

Welcome to IQ.

IQ is a unique and powerful consumer information program for Educators members. Remar Sutton, a nationally known consumer advocate, has partnered with Educators to create IQ and to serve as your "member consumer spokesperson." Here's a message from Remar about IQ.

Parents' & Family Guide

Nurturing our children so that they grow into healthy, happy, responsible, and able adults may be one of our most important tasks as parents, families, and communities. Any way you look at it, parenting is always a challenge.

Our goal for this section of IQ is to provide parents and families with some informational resources to help meet some of those challenges successfully. We have targeted three major areas: child safety, children and education, and children and money. Naturally, there's some overlap in several of the topics.

Each section indicated below seeks to provide some basic information and resources to assist parents in these areas. We welcome your suggestions of additional topics you'd like covered in the IQ Parents & Family Guide.
