The New EnableMath121 Afterschool Program
The new EnableMath121 program is designed to supplement in-school classroom instruction by employing a unique and powerful combination of extraordinary web-based technology and effective personalized human support - the EnableMath Personal Learning Manager.
The EnableMath technology has been carefully developed, tested and refined over the past 10 years. EnableMath is built on the theory that "productive practice" is the key ingredient to successful mastery of mathematics. The program provides extensive support to the student in this process, but not in the form of one-way computer based presentations that mirror the lecture. Students are actively engaged in the learning process through the application of adaptive work assignments supported by step-through examples and conceptual visualizations, all backed up by visual and audio guides.
The Personal Learning Manager (PLM) is responsible for managing the child's learning through email and person-to-person meetings. The PLM is not a "tutor" in the traditional sense but a true manager whose role is to personalize each students program to that student's learning needs. Each student is given a diagnostic assessment to determine the appropriate starting point and the learning begins. Student assignments are made on the basis of student assessed strengths and the student's performance is regularly monitored by the PLM so that intervention is timely. Not until mastery is achieved is the student allowed to move on to the next assignment. Frequent assessments are performed to ensure that the student is making continuous progress. The PLM provides motivation, exciting incentives, encouragement and frequent communication to student and the parent.
Students are expected to spend about 15-20 minutes per day on their assignments. Students who follow this regime and complete their assignments WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!! With the caring support of parents (and grandparents, aunts and uncles) working as a team, each child can and will master the math.
The EnableMath121 program is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2010. If you are interested in receiving more information or would be interested in becoming one of our first Personal Learning Managers, please contact us at seniorplm@enablearning.com.
