Ready To Learn K-2
Ready To Learn (RTL) is an early childhood classroom program that is based upon an extensive review of research on skills associated with school success. RTL is designed to promote the learning skills and social skills needed for school success. The main skill areas in the RTL program are attending, listening, social skills, and cognitive skills such as understanding story structure and asking effective questions. These skill areas are considered the foundations upon which reading proficiency and school success are based. Five teacher strategies are used to help students develop competence in the skill areas listed above:
- Modeling, coaching, and cueing
- Student story retelling
- Student story telling
- Positive peer reporting
- Encouragement council
Ready for Success 3-4
Ready for Success is delivered in five classroom lessons. While developmentally appropriate interventions to teach critically important fundamental academic, social and self-management skills have been designed for students in grades K-1 (Ready to Learn) and for students in grades 4-12 (Student Success Skills), up until now this was not available for students in grades 2-3.
Student Success Skills 5-12
Five classroom lessons introduce students to the Student Success Skills (SSS) strategies they can use all year to better master the regular curriculum and develop healthy habits, caring relationships and encouraging classroom communities. Award winning research makes this highly engaging program essential. The skills learned in the Ready to Learn, Ready for Success and Student Success Skills will benefit a student throughout their life!
How Does Your Engine Run?
"How Does Your Engine Run?" is an Alert Program, created by Mary Sue Williams, and Sherry Shellenberger. How Does Your Engine Run, assists students in understanding their different states of alertness and help them focus on learning how to monitor, maintain and change their level of alertness, that way they can be ready to learn. There are three states of alertness low, just right and high and students learn to recognize the different states in themselves and other people. Once students can identify the different alertness states the program then teaches them techniques they can use to help transition themselves through the different states to get their engines running "just right." This is to help students be ready to take on the task at hand, whether that is learning in the classroom, playing a sport or working with others this program helps the student take control of their own states of alertness.
