East Meadows Elementary hosted a district training for mentors, teachers, and technicians last week. The SuccessMaker program which was developed by Pearson, will be implemented in Nebo elementary schools. The program provides additional help with math or reading. It uses interactive games to improve skills, and can adjust questions to a student's particular level. The program has the capability to record and play back reading, as well as customization for specific students and groups. "We will now be able to target and serve a group of students that wouldn't otherwise receive additional instruction and attention," said Dwight Liddiard, principal at East Meadows, "It is a welcome addition."
