Why Our Program Works
Extreme Learning’s intensive intervention program is effective for the following reasons:
Identifies individual/specific skill and knowledge gaps
Utilizes individualized instruction to target identified gaps
Uses a multi-sensory, multimedia approach to instruction
Conducts regular assessments and adjustments to individual learning plans
Captivates students by teaching technology skills and providing access to powerful technology
Extreme Learning administers three standards based summative assessments in each program—an Initial, a Mid Term and a Final test. Extreme Learning students have repeatedly demonstrated success and academic growth in their daily classes, as well as on pre and post tests in our educational software assessments and on the California Standards Test.
Sample Results
The charts below show sample results in English Language Arts skill development in 2005-06. Math scores are generally higher though, typically, fewer districts choose math as a program focus. The tables below show a breakdown of sample school district assessment results using grade level pre and post assessments from Siboney Learning’s Orchard Gold, correlated with the California Content Standards. Also shown are sample CST and CAHSEE results.
