Here’s more Internet support for classroom teachers and school administrators willing to individualize instruction of learners. User say this product takes the guess work out aligning instruction with state standards while lesson planning for each student. Content areas include math, science, language arts, and reading for K8.
Education specialists (I dislike the misleading hubris of the term “expert”) have long stated that individualized learning is the most effective way for students to learn.
Giving teachers a quick way to build those plans with complete confidence that the activities are correlated to their standards fills a critical need.
Learning Plans on Demand (LPOD) fills this need and also provides administrators with automatic analyses of trends indicating how teachers use the program and potential trouble spots.
Learning Plans on Demand™ is a Web-based program that creates individualized learning plans with teacher-created, standards-based activities that are easily implemented in class or at home on Rapid Resources, both offered by International Learning Corporation.
“From an administrator’s perspective, LPOD helps us quickly get a read on what our teachers need and where there might be problems in the curriculum,” said Dr. Rita Wright, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, Butler County School District in Alabama. “For example, I can look at the curriculum gap analysis and correct the problems now so they don’t continue in the future.”
Here’s an opening for an Ink oriented independent software developer. Perhaps I missed it, but I do not see any indication that these programs accept Ink enabled communications.
