Learn-to-Succeed Features and Benefits
Small Group Instruction
Learn-to-Succeed offers instruction in small learning groups, generally
between 4-7 students with each instructor. Students are grouped according
to skill level and need, allowing instructors to provide personal attention
while properly pacing the group to meet achievement goals.
Personal Learning Plans
After reviewing student diagnostic exam data and current grades and, where
possible, getting input from the student’s teachers as well as parents,
Platform Learning creates a personal learning plan for each student. This
plan identifies the student’s specific learning needs and outlines
important milestones and goals. The personal learning plan is a detailed
roadmap to help a student meet his or her achievement goals.
Dedicated and Trained Instructors
Platform Learning recruits and trains experienced teachers to serve as instructors
in the Learn-to-Succeed program. Instructors are chosen based upon a proven
track record of effectiveness and commitment to holding all students to
the highest academic standards.
Proven Instructional Approach
The curricula and teaching methodologies used in the Learn-to-Succeed program
are research-based and integrate instruction for English language learners.
The curriculum is aligned to state standards and tailored to emphasize specific
topics covered by individual school districts. Students find the materials
relevant as well as engaging and challenging. Students are assessed on a
regular basis, and progress is continually monitored to ensure that their
personal achievement goals are being met.
Engaged Parents
Parents and guardians are actively engaged in the educational process. Each
program begins with parent workshops so that parents understand how to support
their children in the Learn-to-Succeed program. As part of the program,
parents receive several student progress reports as well as take-home workbooks
and materials that they can use to support their child’s learning
goals.
Nutritious Snacks
Recognizing the importance of good nutrition, Platform
Learning provides each student with a healthy snack prior to each tutoring
session. Platform Learning believes that providing students with a healthy
snack and time to interact with their peers is an effective way to ensure
that students have the energy needed to focus.
Student Rewards and Incentives
Rewards are an important motivational component of the Learn-to-Succeed
program. The rewards program is designed to encourage, recognize and reward
student attendance, participation and academic improvement. Students have
the opportunity to earn rewards throughout the entire Learn-to-Succeed program.
