Education Plan

1.
Improve HS Graduation Rate |
1Students go to their reading AI computer and read Jack and Jill went and then they choose an option like ball game, dance, rodeo, movie... Once students begin the computer takes over and adjusts the reading level and direction for each student based on what they want to read, how fast they read with how well they read based on some |
end of assignment easy questions. This is not an IQ test. There is no hurry as the only complete failure is those that can't read well enough to begin the process which indicates the need for special personal attention. A 7th grade reading level at H.S. graduation |
is OK if
desire means continued reading. The key is when hey decide they want more
they are prepared. Thanks!
