  1. From Techno COOL to Techno TOOL – Time to Chart a New Course From Techno COOL to Techno Tool: MINDResearch Institute www.mindresearch.net

  2. Our Research Spatial Temporal Reasoning (STR) Spatial temporal reasoning is the brain's innate ability to hold an image in working memory and evolve it through a sequence of steps in space and time. 

  3. History – MIND Research Institute • 1998:MIND Institute spun out of University of California • 1999: First 2nd Grade class pilot increased +29 percentiles on SAT 9 • 2000: Established four research pilot schools in California • 2002: MIND Education Division founded with 12 initial schools • 2004: Implemented K-4 in 67 schools, serving 12,000 students • 2005: Added 5th Grade curriculum to the program, expanded into Texas • 2006: Expanded into Midwest, program implemented in over 200 schools • 2007: Expanded into Southeast, developed Algebra Readiness program • 2008: Expanded into Northeast, supported 100,000 students in over 450 schools • 2010: Supporting over 950 schools, 260,000 students, 10,000 teachers in 19 states

  4. Our Programs ST Math: K-5™is research-proven, comprehensive instructional software that uses Spatial-Temporal reasoning to engage and train students at any level of academic and language proficiency in math concepts, skills, and problem solving. ST Math+Music™combines the research-based MIND Research Institute music curriculum with the ST Math: K-5 instructional software. ST Math: Secondary Intervention™ is instructional software designed for middle or high school students who are below proficiency in mathematics. ST Math: Fluencydevelops fluency in basic math facts with conceptual understanding . Enables students to recall basic math facts accurately, quickly and effortlessly. Algebra Readiness™is a full course (textbook and instructional software) that rebuilds a solid math foundation for middle and high school students and prepares them for success in Algebra 1.

  5. The Neuroscience Learning Path

  6. The Neuroscience Learning Path Ideal: Provide a way for each individual to experience examples of each new concept as they learn them.

  7. The Neuroscience Learning Path • Explore • Touch • Fail • Succeed

  8. The Neuroscience Learning Path • To Previous Knowledge • Similarities • Differences

  9. The Neuroscience Learning Path • Repeat Problem-solving • Get Feedback • Consolidate Learning • Automaticity (Less working memory)

  10. The Neuroscience Learning Path • Talk • Explain • Describe • Assess

  11. Typical Instruction Typical Classroom

  12. The New Learning Path

  13. The New Learning Path Good teachers make strong connections between ST Math and the regular classroom instruction

  14. Growth in Math Proficiency

  15. “Gold Standard” UC Irvine Study Highlights • Funded by U.S. Ed Department Institute of • Education Sciences (IES) • 4 Year Longitudinal Study • Random Controlled Trials • - Random Assignment by Grade Level • 52 Sites • Over 10,000 Students in Control and • Treatment Groups • Design/Analysis/Publication by UC Irvine Researchers

  16. Advanced Proficient Change in Test Scores in Response to Math Intervention Controls: No ST Math Started above Proficient (>350) in 3rd Grade (2007/08) Begin ST Math as 5th graders Begin ST Math as 4th graders Started below Proficient (<350) in 3rd Grade (2007/08) Controls: No ST Math

  17. MIND Research Results Houston Area Math Initiative 2010-2011 Percent Increase of Students at Met Standards and Commended Levels Grades 3, 4 and 5 No ST Math (53 schools, 154 grades, 10854 students) ST Math (8 schools, 15 grades, 820 students) All Schools: Lowest 30% performing in Texas from Houston and surrounding area. TAKS Met Level TAKS Commended Level
