EDUSPARK employs
a holistic, neuropsychological approach that develops linguistic
and cognitive abilities. It is based on a cognitive model which
simulates the brain thus helping students connect prior knowledge
with new skills and concepts. These interactive multimedia programs
reinforce reading, language, music, math, and science using multisensory
stimuli that appeal to the natural learning style of each student,
whether it's visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.
The
software stimulates both right-brain and left-brain processes.
The software also allows the teachers and students to switch from
English to Spanish quickly and easily. All EDUSPARK programs were
designed and tested by teachers for teachers. This aspect was
essential to creating solutions that close the gap between native
English and English Language Learners (ELL) students. EDUSPARK's
language toggle allows teachers to address the learning needs
of English Language Learners. As a result, EDUSPARK can be taught
in English and Spanish simultaneously to foster understanding
of key concepts in both languages. This approach ultimately creates
a global education environment in accordance with United Nations
initiatives.
We understand
that possessing a rich language foundation is essential to motivating
lifelong success in knowledge application. EDUSPARK provides multi-sensory,
interactive software with built-in instantaneous bilingual translation
of core curriculum: Math, Music, Language Arts, Reading and Writing,
Science, Health and Social Studies. Activities are interwoven
into each lesson plan that aid in motor skills improvement. For
example, each module includes rich multimedia materials with songs,
vivid images, vocabulary-building games, workbooks, flash cards,
and teacher guides.
Professional
development services are provided for new and experienced education
leaders to learn how to maximize the capabilities of EDUSPARK
solutions within their learning environments. Training includes
topics such as how to effectively use classroom technology with
the EDUSPARK solution, neuro-research fundamentals and methodology,
best-practices in bilingual education, and how to integrate the
EDUSPARK solution into their daily lesson plans.
Our programs
improve the overall learning environment by making the classroom
interactive. When students are engaged as they learn, it has been
proven that test scores improve, attendance increases (for both
students and teachers) and teacher's lives are made easier. Over
500 resources are available to teachers that include lesson plans,
animated lessons, vocabulary drills, synonyms quizzes, antonyms
quizzes, games, and hands-on activities which are aligned with
your core curriculum.
