Oklahoma School Districts may now Implement Acellus Math Courses using Allocated Textbook Funds

Independence, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2011 -- The International Academy of Science today announced that the Acellus Learning System has been officially adopted as a textbook in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma textbook adoption process involves rigorous evaluation of instructional materials with respect to Oklahoma's state content standards.

The Acellus Learning System is a computer-based education tool which combines time-proven methods of teaching with advanced technology to provide real-time intelligence and reporting. To help leverage teachers in addressing today's high-pressure state and national testing requirements, Acellus provides an innovative way to deliver effective virtual instruction in an interactive and self-paced environment.

Acellus provides video instruction and utilizes Deficiency Diagnostics and Customized Personal Instruction to offer a comprehensive feedback system that responds to students' interactions by modifying the curriculum to fit individual needs. Based on each student's performance, Acellus creates an individualized experience to ensure that the student understands the concept being conveyed.

To leverage teachers and allow them to interact with their students more effectively, Acellus includes sophisticated administrative tools to manage the learning process. The ability to monitor student activity in real-time means teachers can immediately provide one-on-one assistance when problems occur. The level of data collected gives teachers a deep understanding of each student's problem areas and performance ability, which is a luxury not afforded teachers in schools today.

The Acellus Learning System is working in more than 950 schools, helping nearly 500,000 students across the United States improve academic achievement every day.

Acellus Integrates Prescriptive Assessments and Targeted Instruction for Intervention Programs

Independence, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2011 -- The International Academy of Science today announced that the Acellus Learning System has become the program of choice among schools nationwide for implementing frequent progress measurement and self-paced intervention to prevent academic failure.

Acellus is an ideal academic solution for schools with Response to Intervention (RTI) programs. It integrates prescriptive assessments and targeted instruction which can be effectively incorporated into multi-level prevention systems (applicable for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs). Acellus uses progress monitoring to provide specific intervention depending on the student's needs, adapting to each individual level in order to maximize and increase overall student achievement.

Prescriptive assessments designed with Deficiency Diagnostic (DD) technology identify specific gaps in students' knowledge of the presented concepts. Acellus then provides Customized Personal Instruction (CPI) to the students in only those prescribed areas.

The students are subsequently re-assessed to insure that the concepts identified and addressed have been retained. If gaps still exist, the student will again be presented with the relevant concepts and then re-assessed to determine comprehension. Acellus will deliver additional versions of instruction to students when data shows that multi-level instruction is required.

Acellus courses can be used to leverage teachers in providing targeted intervention for students classified as at-risk. The prescriptive assessments and progress monitoring used by Acellus provide teachers with instant visibility into areas where students are in need of remediation. This allows teachers to respond in a timely manner to individual student needs. The student response data also aids teachers in identifying students with learning and other disabilities.

Acellus Innovatively Leverages Technology to More Effectively Reach At-Risk Students

Independence, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2011 -- The International Academy of Science today announced the release of the Credit Recovery model of the Acellus Learning System. The credit recovery model of Acellus uses Deficiency Diagnostic technology to provide in-depth training on the specific areas where students are lacking in understanding.

"Acellus Credit Recovery takes a revolutionary approach to helping at-risk students more effectively regain lost credits," said Dr. Maria Sanchez, President at the International Academy of Science. "By leveraging technology to focus remedial efforts on the specific gaps in each student's understanding, Acellus is helping to amplify results within credit recovery programs at schools nationwide."

Acellus Credit Recovery integrates prescriptive assessments and targeted instruction which can be effectively incorporated into multi-level prevention systems (applicable for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs).
