Trained Brain

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:07am 0 Comments 0 Likes

There were no discussions on brain research lately. So I thought should be discuss if we should teach students how important to train your brain from early ages (pre-K) and if it is too late to do this in the 12th grade, or is it?

Individual learning plans...Is it the answer.

Posted on March 11, 2010 at 11:39am 4 Comments 0 Likes

More then half of students in urban schools are below the level of proficiency in Math and Sciences. Students are part of a system : school (a Teacher) -student- Home ( parents). In that student centered system non proficient students do not read, do not listen, and do not do the home work. Is it an example of a social desease and is an individual learning plan a remedy in a class of 35 kids ?

We are partnering with a company to develop a "platform" for us that is going to make this an incredible learning opportunity and open and free! Should be able to announce more about it within a couple of months!
