Individual learning plans...Is it the answer.
Posted on March 11, 2010 at 10:39am 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 ?

- Hi Nellie, Thanks for the interest. The work is below the surface right now. 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!
