Curriculum
- Adaptable to different curriculums
Information about curriculum
Our product’s curriculum design is grounded in research and tailored to meet individual student needs. It begins with a diagnostic assessment that places students within the learning progression based on their specific requirements. This conservative approach ensures that students consolidate prior knowledge by starting with familiar concepts before moving on to new material.
Pedagogical design
The curriculum aligns with the French national education program and American State Standards, incorporating research from experts like Maryse Bianco and Stanislas Dehaene. It uses direct instruction, guided practice, and remediation loops to ensure concept mastery. Differentiated content levels cater to individual student needs, promoting engagement and long-term retention. The French curriculum details are on the P2IA website, and the American curriculum follows the Science of Reading approach, addressing the forgetting curve with targeted review lessons.
