Special Programs

TouchMath
For over thirty years the innovative, multisensory, TouchMath program has been quickly guiding students through basic math concepts: counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, story problems, time, money, fractions, and more. It is used internationally for regular classrooms pre-K, Kindergarten, First, Second and Third grades to provide a firm foundation for young students, as well as Special Education and Intervention Programs in classrooms K-12 to remediate math difficulties for all students.

This dynamic, one-step-at-a-time TouchPoint approach integrates all senses as students see, say, hear, and touch math using only worksheets and a pencil.
Employing the use of pictorial objects and our exclusive trademarked TouchPoints, we teach children to associate numerals with their real value (number quantity). They begin to understand that the numeral five is not a word or a squiggle on a page; it represents something and has meaning—a quantity of five ladybugs, buttons, houses or TouchPoints. The easiest known way to help youngsters develop this connection is to incorporate numerals with actual quantities attached to the numeral itself.

Each digit from 1 through 9 has TouchPoints corresponding to the digit’s quantity. Numerals 1 through 5 use single TouchPoints, or dots. Numerals 6 through 9 use double TouchPoints symbolized by a dot inside of a circle.


 

Summer Programs

YOUTH BUSINESS CAMP

Concept: We will go to schools with the youth program to teach their participants how to start and operate their own business. Our focus is on teaching sales techniques and creating joint ventures to make it possible for young people to start a business for under $100. Youth Business Camp

Background: Minority youth across America are failing in school, and then move into an overcrowded workforce with double digit unemployment. Jobs are hard to come by and the minimum wage puts you below the poverty wage. Starting a business is a good alternative to the overcrowded job market.

Benefits: Our youth today tend to view their role models as musical entertainers, professional athletes, and street hustlers. This vision provides children with the false idea that following those steps is the only way to become financially stable.

Youth Business Camp will promote academic excellence and instill entrepreneurial skills in the youth. This will broaden their vision and supply them with the tools they need to prosper now and in the future.

Youth Business Camp believes that teaching our youth early will help them see the value in furthering their education as well as in the need for them to progress in school presently. Children will learn the value of money, the value of hard work, and the enjoyment of watching their passions grow into goals and their goals into money.......learn more

 

THE LEGAL JOURNEY CAMP

Concept: To guide children into learning about the Criminal Justice system and the role that Law plays in ones life.

Children will be guided to learning about the Criminal Justice system and the role writing and or drawing about the experience. Learning to articulate by reading and learning about the various subject matters and by dancing their way into their destiny by using the spoken word, dance, reading and writing as a tool towards self-empowerment. This concept can also tap into undiscovered talents.

Benefits: Learning in a multiple disciplined structure as a tool to rediscover the world around them. This can enable them to develop the necessary tools to advance their world for life.......learn more
