Sylvan Math Prep Comes to Phoenix!

I'm so excited to be able to offer this great FREE program to our local schools! Here is some information about it:
Created by educators, SchoolMathPrep.com delivers more than 2,000 instructor-led videos covering 750 lessons in Pre-algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and math test preparation programs for the SAT and ACT. Each lesson includes sample problems, summary notes, a quiz, a worksheet, and a deep thought question. Teachers in grades 7-12 and their students can use http://www.schoolmathprep.com/ to strengthen time-on-task learning during school hours - for remediation, enrichment, or test preparation.
Educators and schools interested in securing the free math resource from their neighborhood Sylvan Learning center are encouraged to visit http://www.schoolmathprep.com/.
“SchoolMathPrep.com is a rich resource. We especially like the wide variety of topics and examples. It provides an alternate way for us to introduce new topics, and to display practice and assessment questions for an entire class,” said Dr. Mel Ross, principal of Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin, Maryland. Stephen Decatur Middle School is a "Blue Ribbon School" for the Maryland State Department of Education.
Instructor-led videos and educational techniques that feature step-by-step assistance help students develop conceptual understanding and crucial problem-solving skills – and build the core math skills needed for lifelong success. SchoolMathPrep.com features a variety of rich tools and resources for grade 7-12 mathematics teachers and students alike. A powerful search function enables users to search by concept, keyword and textbook (for a majority of U.S. middle and high school math textbooks). It is easy for teachers to find lessons linked to content they’re currently teaching, and for students to obtain extra support for math concepts they may have missed in class – especially as they prepare for the rigors of college-level courses.
Because SchoolMathPrep.com is an Internet resource, no special software or hardware is required by the school. Additionally, student identification is guaranteed to remain private.
At the same time Sylvan Learning’s franchisees are participating in this initiative to provide SchoolMathPrep.com to local students and educators during the school day, Sylvan is also launching a sister site, http://www.sylvanmathprep.com/, for students to use at home for anytime, on-the-spot math homework help. SylvanMathPrep.com complements Sylvan’s superior in-center math programs and supplements SchoolMathPrep.com. Parents interested in a free trial of this cost-effective, “just in time” math homework help resource are encouraged to visit http://www.sylvanmathprep.com/.
