B ridges is an educational program that raises students' achievement in school, and in life, by helping them become better learners. Bridges builds attention, memory, and other learning abilities essential to better reading, spelling, mathematics, and other basic skills. Documented results in several states have included increased test scores and decreased referrals for disciplinary problems. S cience has proven that intelligence is not fixed at birth, but can be developed and strengthened at any age.
Bridges measures the twenty-six intellectual abilities that are most critical to effective learning.
When any learning abilities are discovered to be weak, Bridges provides an individual prescriptive curriculum of mental and sensory-motor activities designed to strengthen them. B ecause the Bridges program measurably improves general academic performance, the mind's ability to focus, and overall student self-respect, it often significantly reduces Special Education referrals. Unlike tutoring processes and video or software, Bridges permanently enhances the core intelligence of the student, and prepares them to learn. B ridges is an all-school educational design serving over 75,000 students nationwide and by September will be in over 225 schools in 17 states. Brian Evans will be our Dream Keeper of Intellectual Development.
