Academic Testing

 Standardized Testing

Evidence of What
  Students Have Not Experienced

Especially in the early elementary years, test results are more an indication of the home environment than they are the school's success.  The most effective way to impact each student's learning readiness is to provide experiences that substitute - or make up - for any lack that exists.

Because our program provides hundreds of learning experiences for every student in every five minute lesson, it has the potential to enhance testing results beyond the music classroom.  For the music teacher, there are two obvious imperatives:

1. Especially at the elementary school level, the teacher should document the use of this program to establish higher levels of program credibility with the administration.
2. Each music teacher should encourage the administration to use RhythmBee programs beyond the music classroom.  Not only will that show interest in the entire school, you may become the local hero who helps the school remediate the entire student body.

• Recognize that our students are a product of the experiences that have been available to each both before and after their entry to our schools.
• • Students from a stimulation-rich environment possess more readiness to learn.
  • Students whose minds have not been as stimulated are not as ready to learn.
    
• Assume that the missing experiences can be provided.
• • Educators are well-known for never giving up on our students.
  • With that attitude, we must use all available resources to provide those experiences that will cause our students to succeed.
• Recognize that any catch-up process requires massive activity.
• • Rather than using traditional methods, we must put our students in an environment that creates huge levels of brain activity resulting in synapses, which are chemical connections in the brain.
• • Traditional means will not allow us to catch under-stimulated minds up to grade level.  We need a technological download of synaptic experiences.
    
• Notice the hundreds of mental and verbal responses required in each minute of a RhythmBee unit.
• • Every eye is guided through each unit so that we can be optimally certain that each student is having the experience and receiving the stimulus.
  • The most important element of the program is that a student cannot get lost in the process.
    

• We can suggest currently available material based on administrator or teacher requests.
• We can develop programs for any discrete knowledge base within any subject area.  These custom programs will provide massive levels of stimulus in a short period of time.
  
• We can consult with any educational institution to evaluate test results in order to recommend and develop custom units to create hundreds of synaptic experiences for each student.
