Research on programs for students at risk indicate
that the most fruitful time to provide remediation is during the preprimary
and early primary grades. (Kennedy et al., 1986)

Authentic learning takes
place when students can do the following:
|
|
Construct meaning by
connecting new information to what they already know and have experienced
|
|
Recognize the value of what
they are learning (beyond grades and success in school)
|
|
Connect what they learn in
school to the “real world”
|
|
Some examples of authentic
tasks include developing a business plan, making decisions about land use,
and designing and producing a program for the school play
