• In Event: Posters Wed2
  In Poster Session: D&D - Posters Wed2

Short Description

Standardized testing, implementation of common core (CCSS), and other like interventions have set up an environment that misses opportunities to motivate students and as a result may be setting both the teachers and the schools systems for failure. The presenters believe that this can be overcome by implementing a story-based curriculum that will help teachers teach to their student’s strengths and allow them to remediate their weaknesses. Specific strategies and proof statements will be provided.
