New MyGuide Personal Learning Program Offers Dynamic Print and Online
Resources to Accelerate Students' Academic Achievement
NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Grow Network/McGraw-Hill launched
the newest version of its MyGuide(TM) Personal Learning Program in Florida
today, providing personalized instructional guidance for students in
reading and math to support learning intervention efforts. The MyGuide
Personal Learning Program combines psychometric expertise with
patent-pending technology to analyze students' assessment results and
deliver print and online content specifically targeted to each student's
individual learning needs.
Built on the success of The Grow Network's existing study guide program
that has been in use in five states and multiple school districts, this
research-based program for Grades 6-12 has been proven to significantly
increase student achievement according to an independent evaluation of the
program.
The new MyGuide Personal Learning Program being launched this month in
Florida will be used in Grades 7-10 and by students taking the Florida High
School Exit Exam. It will continue to roll out across the country this
fall.
"Teachers need time-saving classroom tools that can help them
differentiate instruction and provide targeted support to individual
students," said Dr. Diana Greene, deputy superintendent, Marion County
(Fla.) Public Schools. "We are looking forward to using the MyGuide program
to give teachers additional instructional support and give students a
resource to help them master the skills they need to graduate."
The MyGuide Personal Learning Program places the teacher at the center
of instruction and allows for more direct teaching time with each student.
The program supports teachers with an instructional guide that equips them
to deliver effective, differentiated instruction to a classroom of diverse
learners .- plus Web resources that provide immediate classroom support and
the assistance of a dedicated professional development team to ensure
successful implementation.
"This program helps educators bridge the gap between assessment and
instruction by providing print and online resources that bolster teachers'
ability to offer hands-on learning intervention for their students," said
Mark Malaspina, president of The Grow Network. "By focusing on students as
individuals - showing them their own specific learning needs and strengths
-- we are also empowering them to take charge of their learning and build
confidence in their achievements."
The MyGuide Personal Learning Program is a powerful, intensive
intervention solution because it puts student assessment data to work for
the benefit of students and teachers. It uses proprietary technology to
create a comprehensive learning map that synthesizes state academic
standards, cognitive research on how students perform, and knowledge about
the learning steps necessary to master the standards. Each student's most
recent assessment data is analyzed to create individualized,
standards-integrated content targeted to provide the precise instructional
support each student needs to increase his or her achievement in reading
and math.
