INSTRUCTORS
- Affordable – Just $19 per annual student license
- Adaptable – Great Leaps can be implemented before, during, or after school with staff or even volunteers
- Data-Driven – Charts are kept to gauge student progress and can be used to predict future growth
- Efficient – All it takes is 7 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week
- Simple – Great Leaps has been implemented successfully by specialists, teachers, paraprofessionals, and volunteers
STUDENTS
- Attention Span – Working just a few minutes a day means students stay more focused and engaged
- Improved Confidence – Individualized attention and positive reinforcement builds confidence and motivation
- Academic Growth – Learning math facts to automaticity frees up brain power for processing more complicated math problems
- Behavior – Academic confidence often leads to a decrease in referrals
PROGRAM
- Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
- Access for 1 calendar year with automatic charting, fidelity warnings, and the ability to transfer a license if a student moves or graduates the program.
PROCEDURE
- Each timing begins with the student creating their own word problem to make the skill more concrete
- Instructor administers 1-minute timings in the chosen math fact
- Responses per minute and errors are marked and automatically charted after each timing
PROVEN TEACHING METHODS
- Immediate Correction when an error is made
- Modeling sections the student is struggling with using the neural impress method
- Constant positive reinforcement to build confidence and motivation
- Writing the problems missed down on a notecard improves student growth
EVIDENCE-BASED
- Utilizes precision teaching methods
- Avoids rote memorization through rotating exercises within a given skillset
INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION
- The most important thing in a student's progress is an engaged instructor
- Positive reinforcement from an instructor is what builds a student's confidence and improves their relationship with learning and education
- One-on-one instruction ensures the student’s focus and effort whereas a computer program alone cannot
- Teaching practices such as modeling and immediate correction are also best done by a caring instructor
