What is Home School?
Action Pact's Home School offers a variety of on-demand training to keep Culture Change a priority in your community.
Home School is Action Pact’s mobile learning platform designed to provide training to long-term care staff, residents and families. Our learning management system not only delivers engaging training materials, but also tracks the progress of all users, helping your organization create a culture that values learning.
Home School offers training in several formats:

Who is Home School for?
No matter where your organization’s culture change process is starting or whether your destination is neighborhoods or households, Home School can guide you to your goals. And, big or small, Home School is scalable to fit your organization’s needs.
Why Mobile Learning?
“People learn more on their own rather than being force fed.”
– Socrates (469-399 BC)
Thanks to emerging technology, long-term care staff across entire organizations are starting to take learning into their own hands, and that’s a big step toward enabling a good daily life for residents. Learning topics range from the basics of person-centered care and the Household Model to food safety, hospitality, answering the doorbell, changing lives with toast, and more.
Home School instructs in a concise and highly interactive manner that caregivers on the move can easily absorb. Staff can use mobile learning when they have just a minute.
“If staff is not sure how to do dining or something else involving our work here, they can watch a short learning module… We are fortunate to have a lot of self-directed learners.”
“People who aren’t strong readers can learn from creative graphics and videos. A single, still image can convey a complex idea, enabling large amounts of data to be absorbed quickly. When that picture and its story are shared with everyone in the organization over the internet, person-to-person, and in group meetings, it sparks a new culture of self-directed learning.”
- LaVrene Norton
Testimonial
“Complete with buttons to push, questions to answer, and praise for correct responses and completed courses, the system aims to hold the learner’s attention with short videos and dramatizations, pithy text, music, and colorful graphics. They use a little bit of everything.”
“We want to create hunger for knowledge and skills. The internet and mobile learning offers a way that’s fun, exciting, and interesting so that staff want to learn more.”
- Angela Hunt, Administrator and Chief Operating Officer at The Cedars in Portland, ME
