TRANSCRIPT
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.
Students need to be fluent in these foundation skills in order to…
…advance to these skills, which is where successful, fluent readers are.

Higher Order Thinking Skills = Math Proficiency
• It builds AutomaticityAutomaticity by measuring • accuracy• consistency of pace
• AutomaticityAutomaticity occurs • 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 are AutomatizedAutomatized students can move to higher-order tasks!
Automaticity leads to fluency, which leads to student success!
How Does Academy of READING/MATH Help Students?
Functional MRI Supports AutoSkill Research
• 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

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

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
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
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
StaffingWho can be an Academy Teacher?
Teachers who want to make the program work
Teachers who have a consistent schedule of availability
