An Immense Challenge to Improve Student Achievement

A lot can be learned from Mr. Wilson, a man who has achieved such great success for students in one of the most challenging educational environments.

Dr. Burns focused on the neurophysiology of learning, specifically the importance of several key left hemisphere pathways.

This webinar explains the research behind the Fast ForWord program and how it took Korematsu from No Child Left Behind  Program Improvement (PI) status to achieving double-digit learning gains -- and emerging from PI status in only two school years!

Fast ForWord is particularly designed to activate and strengthen speech perception, comprehension and production regions and those key pathways that enable processing for struggling learners by:

• Targeting key neurological centers for language, perceptual processing and sequencing
• Enhancing processing speed and accuracy through repetition and practice of brain fitness exercises
• Building executive functions (life skills) through exercises that increase students’ ability to control their attention and retain information (working memory)
