John Glenn School Corporation to present their experience with Cognitive Skills Training at the annual ISBA/IAPSS joint fall conference.
Cognitive skills predict student performance and behavior in school today” - Roger StarkINDIANAPOLIS, IN, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- On September 23, educational leaders from John Glenn School Corporation will present their experience implementing BrainWare
learning Company 's cognitive training program. This featured presentation is part of the annual ISBA/IAPSS Joint Fall
conference at the Indiana
convention Center in Indianapolis.
According to Roger Stark, CEO of BrainWare Learning Company,“Students at John Glenn School Corporation are now using BrainWare for the fourth consecutive year. Each year, the district has seen significant increases in cognitive skills and executive functions, improvements in reading and math scores, improvement in student self-esteem, and decreases in student disciplinary actions and tardiness. These gains led to their decision to be the first school district to incorporate comprehensive integrated cognitive skills training at one grade level in all schools.”
The BrainWare Learning program builds the underlying cognitive skills that are the foundation for learning. With stronger cognitive skills, students find learning easier and their teachers see greater academic gains and improvements in behavior. Educators are prioritizing cognitive skills in the wake of new evidence of the negative impact of the pandemic on cognitive skills, explaining why academic performance has not rebounded and why behavior issues are primary concerns for educators.
According to John Glenn School Corporation Superintendent Christopher Winchell,“BrainWare is a program with long-term benefits for our students, helping them become strong, confident and capable learners. When implemented at the lower grade levels, it accelerates academic gains and sets students up for ongoing success, reducing the need for remediation for those kids later in their school career. The support from both teachers and students is exciting to watch and allows the district to continues to out-perform peer districts and achieve at even higher levels.”
“Cognitive skills predict student performance and behavior in school today, and also predict how well they will be able to handle the demands of a fast-moving world and the careers of the future.,” said Stark.“If you and/or members of your team are going to the conference, I encourage you to attend the presentation. I believe you will find it worth your time to look at something that is showing such promising results.”
The presentation will take place at 3:30 p.m. on September 23 in Room 134-135. You can also meet the team and learn more at Booth 632.”
