Fit Learning's mission is to transform the learning abilities of all children who walk through our doors such that they achieve greatness in their communities and beyond.
Since 1998, Fit Learning has been researching and developing a unique system of instruction that is based on a combination of behavior and neuroscience. Direct service providers are called learning coaches who must go through intensive training and reach rigorous performance standards to become certified in the model. Students are first assessed using a combination of Fit Learning's skill-based assessment and conventional norm-referenced assessments. Data from the assessment guide the development of programming for each learner. Once a student's program is developed, they will typically receive 3-5 1-hour sessions per week with a learning coach (1-to-1). During a session, learners will engage in developing fluency with isolated component skills and critical concepts related to those skills. Weekly progress monitoring programs are implemented for each learner to ensure functional grade-level gains are being achieved. Data for everything a learner does in session is collected and charted by his/her/their learning coach. Data is reviewed daily by the student's Case Manager and weekly by the student's Case Advisor. During these reviews, CMs and CAs use the charted data to enhance learning through the implementation of systematic interventions. Every 40-hours, a student is re-assessed to evaluate. Data from the reassessment are used to communicate growth to parents, make recommendations for the continuation or discontinuation of sessions, and evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy across all learners. Fit Learning has developed and tested isolate programming lines in areas of reading (letter naming to grade level passage reading), Math (number sense to Algebra 1), thinking/problem solving/reading comprehension, and school readiness (pre-k, K, and 1st grade). Generally, we serve students in the PreK-12. About 40% of all learners who have received services from Fit Learning have been diagnosed with a learning disability. On average, parents can expect their child to improve 40 percentile points in the domain targeted during sessions in the first 40 hours. Results are almost identical for in-person sessions as they are for on-line sessions.
To support scheduling, Sharing tutoring session content, Sharing academic progress, Sharing social or emotional progress, Accessing student information, Sharing at-home support suggestions, Family/Caregiver survey, Goal setting and monitoring progress toward goals, Each child is unique and comes with unique circumstances. While we try to do all the work ourselves, we will engage the family or professionals when necessary to achieve the shared goals of academic independence.
