“MINDsprinting
allows students to work at their own pace and without the pressures
inherent in a classroom setting. As a result, when a student’s
teacher reviews his or her achievements (via reports that MINDsprinting provides)
a clear indication of that child’s
current skill levels and potential to learn is revealed. For
example, in math, the lesson titles identify specific skill sets
and the lesson results (percent correct and time taken) reveal the
extent of mastery of those skill sets. Thus, a somewhat less obvious
benefit afforded by MINDsprinting is the opportunity for parents
and teachers to communicate on a regular basis, with detailed information,
concerning the student’s
progress.“ -

“Often parents
ask me for materials and/or programs that I can recommend for them
to use at home with their children. The MINDsprinting program
is a comprehensive resource, well organized and easily accessible
on the web that parents can use to remediate, supplement, enhance
their children’s
skills in math and reading comprehension.” -
Lidia Komorowsky Special Education Resource Teacher For Toronto School
Board
“As
an experienced educator, I recognize that it is difficult to meet
the breadth of students’ learning styles within the group
instruction of the classroom; we often cannot provide sufficient
practice of subskills, the essential tools for comprehension and
knowledge acquisition. Schools cannot do it alone. I would recommend
MINDsprinting to parents because it is an enriched classroom
resource that promotes student understanding and self-confidence
by individualizing their learning. I would recommend it because
it addresses the needs for all students, both those struggling
with basics and those needing more academic challenges.” -
Elizabeth Cowling, Elementary Teacher (over 20 years experience in
Special Education and teaching students with learning disabilities)
“Thank you so much. I have been using it with some of the low achieving students in our after school. This program is so great that I've recommended it to a lot of my educator friends.
I appreciate the work that has gone into this program and will continue to use it as well as promote it for you through my network of collaborators.
[W]e are applying for the 21st Century Grant from the FDOE and if funded we will be able to expand our after school services to three new sites next school year and use this program to help those students in need of achieving grade level status
” - Thank you, Barbara Ramos, Educational Programs Director, New Life After School Program
