BrainWare SAFARI as an Evidence-Based Intervention under ESSA
The US Department of Education has issued non-regulatory guidance to help schools implement the new provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, the most recent amendments to ESEA). The document is titled: Using Evidence to Strengthen Education Investments.
The guidance outlines the steps and the criteria for determining the most effective evidence-based interventions to improve student outcomes.
BrainWare SAFARI is a cognitive training program that builds learning capacity and has been shown to have a significant positive impact on academic performance, including narrowing or closing the gap for historically low-performing groups. It is delivered in an engaging video-game format and is typically used for 12 to-14 weeks. It is used by students from elementary grades through adult learners.
This webinar is also being offered at 3 p.m. Central Time on January 24.
- 1. The five-step process outlined by USDOE for selecting Evidence-Based interventions.
- 2. The kinds of local needs that might be identified in Step 1 that would suggest consideration of BrainWare SAFARI as an intervention.
- 3. How the research on BrainWare SAFARI supports the requirements for an evidence-based intervention. In this webinar, we will focus on interventions related to Economically Disadvantaged (Low SES, Title I, Free and Reduced Lunch) Students and Students i
- 4. The support provided by the company throughout the five-step process
I like to describe myself as a "recovering" educator, but the truth is that I am more excited than ever about what neuroscience is uncovering about the brain and how we can use that information to enable each individual to reach his or her cognitive potential. I'm here to share what I've been learning over the last ten years and to continue learning from others in this amazing and fast developing field.
