[6 Tips] Effective Intervention Programs. Having an outstanding intervention program is a necessity for identifying struggling students and helping them to get back on track academically. However, with all of the buzzwords and trends related to intervention floating around, it can be difficult to determine what truly makes a program effective. Read on for some simple tips that apply for any kind of intervention program. 1. Leverage your data Make the most of your student data by identifying discrete, measurable objectives and monitoring them in a regular, consistent manner. This data can be used to determine where your students fall on the instructional hierarchy and tailor instruction appropriately to move them along to the next level. 2.

One of the most important aspects of any intervention program is a clearly and consistently implemented process. 4. 5. 6. K-5 Fundamentals: Coding and Digital Literacy.

It’s no secret that the need for programmers, software developers, and computer science engineers is increasing at a dizzying rate. After a decade that saw a steady decline in the number of computer science classes in American high schools, the education landscape is finally waking up with renewed vigor and offering a plethora of program options on the subject. With all the buzz about computing and, more specifically, coding, it is important to note that not all coding experiences are equal and what students take away in terms of thinking and problem-solving skills is perhaps the best measure of their success. At the forefront of this growing movement, Edmentum is proud to unveil its newest subject for EducationCity--Computing!

Built to provide K–5 students with fundamental technological knowledge and skills, this subject includes the interactive activities and expansive teacher resources you have grown to expect from EducationCity.

Did you ever wonder how much wrapping paper you would need? Let's explore the formula. Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2 r2 + 2 r h h = height of the cylinder, r = radius of the top, approximate value of pi: 3.14. Similar to the rectangle we just finished, Surface Area = Areas of top and bottom + Area of the side(s) Unlike the rectangle, which has 4 sides, the cylinder only has 1 side. Let's picture our cylinder-shaped gift. Circle area formula is r2.

Let's use another example, a soup can. R) * h. Add those two parts together and you have the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. Surface Area = 2( r2) + (2 r) * h Although is approximately 3.14, in this activity we will use = 3.14 for calculations.
