Make an Investment in Student Achievement

Investing in proven programs and technologies to improve staff performance, and therefore student achievement, is an important responsibility you have as an administrator. Class sizes are larger than ever before, increasing the amount of work required for teachers to meet the learning needs of each student. Additionally, the No Child Left Behind Act and President Obama have raised the accountability level on closing the achievement gap, meeting AYP goals and preparing all students to be career- or college-ready upon graduation.

Enable your staff to meet these challenges by providing instructional tools that help teachers create an interactive learning environment. Together, VariQuest Visual Learning Tools offer the instructional support necessary to raise educational success for all students and close the achievement gap between struggling students and their more advantaged peers. Tangible, curriculum-enhanced visuals in the classroom serve as static representations that encourage interaction, learning retention and a stronger understanding of key concepts.

The VariQuest Visual Learning Tools include the Design Center, Poster Maker, Cutout Maker and Awards Maker. Together, the tools allow teachers to enlarge graphic organizers and rubrics in just seconds, create hands-on manipulatives and interactive bulletin boards for any subject, and make personalized awards and stickers for your students to recognize their achievements and positive behavior.

Having the VariQuest tools in your school allows your teachers to quickly and easily create visual and kinesthetic aids that boost students’ retention. The tools also help teachers use differentiated instruction and RTI methods to effectively teach all types of learners, including ELL and special needs students, by customizing content and incorporating visuals, hands-on manipulatives and interactive technology into lessons.

Professional Development

It’s important to create a school environment that fosters teacher effectiveness and retention. The right tools and technology can help teachers be more efficient and intentional with their instruction. Introduce new professional development techniques using VariQuest Visual Learning Tools and additional VariQuest offerings, such as trainings and lesson plans, to target teacher and student needs, and ensure teachers enjoy and continue in their jobs.
