It happens.
You decide to take a break, so you head to the couch or check your phone. Just for a bit.
Suddenly, you feel the burning stare.
Yep, mom’s caught you. Has it really been that long? What were you supposed to do again?
Staying on task in today’s world when there are so many other ways to be entertained is no easy undertaking.
And then when you are expected to focus on something that’s not usually well-loved—like, say, homework—your job becomes particularly difficult.
Should we really blame the teen, though, when the curriculum is so often outdated or filled with text-heavy PDFs? Really, that’s not an issue of an ‘attention-spanless’ generation, that’s simply boring. Period.
That’s why we’ve partnered with StrongMind to provide the best possible online education. StrongMind curriculum is aligned to national and state standards, but courses were actually developed in this decade by former educators who understand the modern-day student.
Available to 6–12th grade students, here’s what you can expect:
Award-winning multimedia designed for digital natives
As a fellow student, you know all too well that you’re not going to spend the necessary time on your studies if you’re not enjoying it.
That’s why we provide a curriculum that’s been newly re-designed for today’s learners. Courses are not just aligned and accredited, they’re actually backward designed.
In other words, the curriculum developers (who are former educators themselves) didn’t just edit some content so it passes the standards test. They actually scrapped everything, looked at the standards first, and developed new content around it.
Courses are packed with award-winning multimedia.
There are animated videos, real-life videos, graphic novels and interactive content throughout to help the students grasp concepts in a way they’ll enjoy.
This method of engaging the learner with interactive multimedia courses is proven. In fact, a recent study from StrongMind shows percentage increases in grades among students using this curriculum.
