Fit Learning Online, an organization with an approach to education rooted in the revolutionary science of behaviour, has recently announced a partnership with Pearl, a leading research-driven tutoring management system that powers evidence-based programmes to streamline operations, report actionable data, and improve students’ outcomes. This cooperation started before summer tutoring enrollments, combines Fit Learning’s transformative learning paradigm with Pearl’s effective tutoring management system to provide kids in grades 1 through college with cutting-edge online learning opportunities.
Summer enrollments with Fit Learning Online produce 1 to 2 years’ gain in core academic skills such that a learner can catch up or get ahead before the next school year. The Fit Reading, Fit Math, or Fit Logic programmes produce true mastery, or fluency, in essential literacy, computation, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills that ensure a learner’s success during the next school year. For over 20 years, scientist-educator Kimberly Nix Berens, PhD and the Fit Learning team have developed and refined a robust system of instruction based on behavioural science, which has transformed the learning abilities of thousands of children worldwide, including those who are struggling, average, gifted, or learning disabled.
Speaking about the development, Dr Kimberly Berens said:
With 70% of American school children below proficiency in reading – along with all other academic subjects – the educational crisis we are facing as a nation has been a crisis since the dawn of our public education system. This crisis is not new, and we are in a vicious cycle of failure because the educational establishment functions as an ideological institution rather than a scientific one.
The success of Fit Learning Online’s traditional programmes, which focus on subjects including phonemic awareness, reading fluency, comprehension, inferential language, fundamental and advanced arithmetic, grammar, and expressive writing, is now available on an online learning platform. These programmes, which are the foundation of the Fit Learning Online curriculum, regularly yield growth equivalent to more than a year’s worth of training in just 40 hours, demonstrating the effectiveness of Fit Learning’s approach.
Fit Learning Online was born out of necessity but thrived because of its effectiveness. Parents save time and alleviate the hassle of driving back and forth to lessons without sacrificing their students’ achievement. The platform’s sessions lead students to achieve fluency, or true mastery, in every foundational skill area essential for long-term academic success: reading, math, logic, and writing. It also offers a complete homeschooling program for families looking for a highly effective alternative to traditional education.
John Failla, Founder and CEO of Pearl, added:
From Dakota Dreams to Guilford County, NC, and the Illinois Tutoring Initiative, the Pearl Tutoring Management System securely powers the nation’s most successful tutoring programs. We are thrilled Fit Learning Online has chosen Pearl as its trusted partner to start, scale, and sustain its evidence-based tutoring.
