Research-Based Direct Instruction ModelInstructivism, a general approach to education proven by extensive research, holds that carefully sequenced and direct instruction is most effective. A+LS curriculum is driven by the direct instruction approach to mastery with the following tools:

• Study Guides teach the concepts and skills associated with each lesson.

• Practice Tests, or Quizzes, allow the student to work through practice exercises while providing immediate feedback as well as access to the Study Guide.

• Mastery Tests determine whether the student has learned the lesson material.

• Constructed Responses, or Essays, help students analyze, synthesize, and evaluate concepts from reviewed lesson content.

Best Practices in TeachingTwenty-eight years of experience and a strong research base give A+LS the following capabilities:

• Allows for differentiating instruction in the classroom.

• Individualized, self-paced learning maximizes student progress and puts students at ease.

• Streamlined instruction.

• Effective in traditional schools, charter schools, after-school learning programs, juvenile facilities, home schools, adult literacy centers, prisons, and more.

Professional DevelopmentBecause implementation is critical to success, we offer several professional development programs including basic and advanced product implementation courses. Additionally, A+ PowerPack™ customers can access A+ University™, a series of online training classes composed of videos, overviews, and reviews specific to the A+LS educational courseware product line.

Core Curriculum and BeyondThe core curriculum content of A+LS addresses student needs in Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Sciences. AEC also offers two additional software programs to serve your needs.

• A+® LearningLink™ – Online formative assessment in Reading and Math for grades one–eight.

• A+® Classroom SRS™ – Classroom-deployed student response software for elementary, middle, and high school learners.
