In order to allow us to pinpoint specific learning strengths and weaknesses, a student’s GradePower Learning program begins with our Dynamic Assessment. From the information gathered through the assessment — academic achievement levels, learning styles, cognitive strengths, and overall potential — a completely individualized program is designed that results in individual, dramatic successes for each of your students.
We are different from all tutors and other supplemental education franchises. Our Interactive Coaching, Proprietary Curriculum, and Dynamic Assessment are tools that only our franchisees possess in order to encourage students’ active participation in the learning process. Using these tools, students can jump ahead at school and experience continued success for life.
Your GradePower Learning programs energize the cognitive ability of the student to absorb and to process information. They provide learning tools for life. Differentiate yourself in your community while making a difference in children’s lives by using our unique programs to give a competitive advantage.
When students struggle to learn the usual way, a different approach is required. GradePower Learning’s unique cognitive approach helps students learn more effectively and efficiently. It’s the secret to our franchisees’ success!
The idea of GradePower Learning began in the 1980s when the founding group of cognitive scientists and educators gathered to discuss the latest trends in education and particularly the emerging science of cognition — learning about learning or how the mind learns. The challenge was to find a better way to teach and to test students using the latest brain science. Mindless repetition until mastery was still the order of the day (as it often is today), and the group of founders knew there was a better way to teach so kids could learn and not just memorize: a way to turn on the power of the active mind.
What emerged was the proprietary GradePower Learning System of Learning and Cognitive Development which involved inventing a new way to teach, which we called Interactive Coaching, a new way to test, which we named a Dynamic Assessment and, finally, a whole new curriculum that embedded the science of cognition right into the scope and sequence of the material. With this innovation, a new era in teaching and tutoring was born.
Finally, there existed a fresh approach to instruction that put the learner first. Education has always been about preparing our children to become functional, successful, and happy adults with self-esteem that was earned, not faked or awarded simply for showing up. This innovation ushered in an approach that cared whether or not children actually understood instead of just caring about them memorizing enough material to get a good grade. With the Cognitive Development model in place, students began to not only get better grades, but to also develop a deep and profound sense of confidence and self-esteem as learners — and they were having fun!
That’s The GradePower Learning Way.
GradePower Learning’s emphasis on cognitive thinking and fostering independent learning, along with being able to have a positive impact on the community, is just one of the many factors that make running a GradePower Learning location so rewarding. Knowing that what we do plays a part in raising up a generation of well-educated critical thinkers is the best part of this business.
