Fairview Elementary began using SuccessMaker for mathematics in February 1997, and added reading instruction in fall 1999 using funds from a Read to Succeed grant. Implementation Individual Instruction in Grade-Level Labs Fairview Elementary set up five SuccessMaker labs, one for each grade level. According to Fairview's principal, SuccessMaker training went smoothly. Our teachers were trained in one in-service day and students were using SuccessMaker the next day. Each student in grades K-4 uses SuccessMaker for 15 minutes a day, three times a week, during the math block and for the same amount of time during language arts.
Students recognize concepts when they come up in class and are able to teach other students.
Fairview Elementary uses the SuccessMaker management system to monitor students' progress. In addition to daily reports for themselves, teachers run quarterly reports on grade level gains and time spent using SuccessMaker. Parent reports are utilized at the end of grading periods and parent workshops have been provided to share students' skills. Other software just doesn't produce the same results.
