Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

If you are seeking a way to help students who are not achieving at grade level, then READ 180 offers an intervention where you can differentiate instruction and better meet their needs. However, If you are seeking a motivationial program for a larger grouping, you need to design a program similar to the ones mentioned. It needs to be tailored to utilize available resources and to take advantage of your students' backgrounds. No commercial program designed by someone in an office who has never met your kids can do that. The only reason I like READ 180 is that it is designed to be a one-two year intervention and comes with much research that poonts the way to success.
