3. Goals of Academy of READING and MATH To increase reading and computational fluency of your students. To build a cognitive foundation of Reading and Math for your students. “Going Back to Basics” To show permanent and significant gains in Reading and Math for your students.

4. Students need to be fluent in these foundation skills in order to…

5. …advance to these skills, which is where successful, fluent readers are.

6. Foundation Skills Covered in Academy of MATH Problem Solving Reasoning and Proof Connections Communication Algebraic Thinking Representation Fluency Geometry Fractions Measurement Division Addition Multiplication Subtraction Graphing Equations Number Sense

7. Higher Order Thinking Skills = Math Proficiency Problem Solving Reasoning and Proof Connections Communication Algebraic Thinking Representation Fluency

8. It buildsAutomaticityby measuring accuracy consistency of pace Automaticityoccurs when a student can perform skills without immediate attention or conscious awareness when it does not interfere with other processes that are occurring at the same time Once skills areAutomatizedstudents can move to higher-order tasks! Automaticity leads to fluency, which leads to student success! How Does Academy of READING/MATH Help Students?

10. How Does the Academy Work? • Students take pre-test • Computer assigns Individualized Training Program: # of skills based on results of pre-test • Computer tracks performance, records errors, monitors response times, and measures time on task • Computer intervenes as needed • Students complete program and take post-test

16. Student Training Process • Student is assessed, automatically placed in training • Skill is introduced, well understood before moving to training • Tutorial review can be re- introduced • Highly efficient, focused on mastery - fluency and automaticity Assessment Tutorial Practice Training Post-Test

17. Data-driven Instruction ACADEMY HAS AN IN-DEPTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES: Data for District Leadership Teams Data for School Leadership/Assistance Teams Data for the AoR Teacher Data for the Classroom Teacher

24. Who Should Use the Programs? • Possible Target Groups • Minimal Students, Below Basic, Level 1 • Basic Students, Level 2 • Bubble Students • Tier 2 or Tier 3 Students • ELL/ESL Students • Special Needs Students • Students Struggling w/ Foundational Reading Skills • Students Struggling w/ Foundational Math Skills

25. Best Practices Learning Environment • Recommended class size • 10-15 students per 1 trained teacher • Special Needs and ELL/ESL students may need smaller class sizes • Lab setting recommended for implementation • Quiet Environment • Conducive to Concentration • Minimal Interruptions • Academy teacher needs to be fully available during Academy class • “Back of the classroom” implementations are not recommended

26. Computer Lab Schedule • Yearlong Implementations • 3 days week per product • Semester Implementations • 4-5 days week per product • 30-45 minute sessions per product • Academy schedules need to be created PRIOR to the initial training • Ensures that the correct staff members are trained

27. Staffing • Who can be an Academy Teacher? • Teachers who want to make the program work  • Teachers who have a consistent schedule of availability • Lab Facilitators* • ELL/ESL Teachers or Assistants • Inclusion Teachers • Special Needs Teachers or Assistants • Reading Teachers • Math Teachers

28. Training • Academy of READING Training • 4-Hour Session Delivered by TE21 certified Trainer • Academy of MATH Training • 3-Hour Sessions Delivered by TE21 certified Trainer • Reading and Math Combo • 8:30-3:30 • 1-Hour for Lunch • Trainings are conducted in small groups • Approximately 15 teachers per training • Staff Program Overviews are also available • 20-30 minutes afterschool/faculty meeting/etc
