Follow on Google News | ![]() Mindprint Learning Launches Free Personalized Learning ToolboxMindprint announced a free version of its personalized learning toolbox, enabling educators and parents to better target learning strategies and teacher-reviewed products for students based on each child's individual strengths, needs and interests.
"You will not find instructional strategies like these anywhere else emphasizing alignment to cognitive, emotional and academic needs," said Nancy Weinstein, Mindprint's CEO. Mindprint's free toolbox offers strategies to teach homework and organizational skills, suggestions for classroom supports, and thousands of teacher reviewed educational games, apps, workbooks, websites and more. Mindprint empowers educators to modify instruction based on weaker skills, teach adaptive coping strategies and improve learning outcomes. Understanding a student's strengths provides options to compensate for weaker skills, build self-confidence, and nurture an overall love of learning. Mindprint's certified teachers review supplemental education resources including games, apps, websites and workbooks enabling educators to choose the optimal solutions for each learner. All of the products have been evaluated using a proprietary rubric based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) standards and reflect the use of multi-modal delivery methods and avoidance of undesirable difficulties. Parents, tutors and independent schools already use Mindprint to solve the problem of objectively identifying how students learn with a valid, online cognitive assessment. Weinstein continued, "While educators are comfortable providing differentiated instruction to students when they know why a student is struggling, they often cannot identify the underlying learning strengths and needs through observation. Standardized tests of academic achievement do not measure these skills." For the 2016-17 school year, schools with qualified support personnel will be able to access Mindprint's cloud-based platform starting at just $10 per assessment. Individual subscribers currently pay up to $199 per assessment for a more comprehensive solution. "There is no comparable online, efficient, and accurate tool available on the market," concluded Weinstein. "Effective personalized learning implementation has its challenges, including identifying what specific supports each child needs to be successful, since even the brightest students have strengths, needs and struggles."
