program available to their students. It sounds terific and the
fact that it sets goals for the individual students can
motivate the students.Theres nothing more important to helping
a student learn than getting them motivated!Motivation
enhances learning and creativity which hekps the student
generalize better. What good is learning a new skill if they
can not apply it to other situations. This also sounds like
something that would help children with learning disabilities
get on track. With a pre0arranged goal this will help monitor
progress and keep the student focused.
