Carol Evans' Bio Hello Moms,

As a mother of two teenagers and CEO of a company that helps make life a little easier for working moms, I know first-hand what parents face when the school year starts. I am excited that Working Mother and Texas Instruments have teamed up to create the Mom’s Back-to-School Guide for making this time of year less stressful and more successful for moms and their kids.

Setting your child up for success is what this site is all about, and for my own children, a critical part of success is getting a strong math education. Consider that by the time today’s high school students graduate from college, more than six million jobs will require a strong background in math, science or engineering. There’s little question that our kids need a strong math education to ensure their place in the future economy.

Here, we share practical advice from a variety of experts including math educators, tutors and authors on how to impact your child’s math achievement. Learn strategies for math success, cutting-edge technology tools, tips for mastering college entrance tests and how to tackle tough homework assignments. Plus, the author of a yearly guide to the best colleges in the U.S. gives advice for making the most of a campus tour and how your child can enter to win an all-expenses-paid Dream College Tour.

From one busy mom to another busy mom, I hope this one-stop site provides a smooth transition from summer to the new school year! Check back for more tips as the school year gets underway.

Carol Evans, CEO and founder, Working Mother Media
