Instead of working on these skills, teachers would read tests out loud to students in a race to pass them on to the next level. This constant push to move up to higher and higher levels of math and reading gets us nowhere if kids are slipping through the cracks and not ge ng the fundamentals of these skills. When students come to us who need to catch up to their grade level, we work toward that goal by using our unique assessment process to iden fy the underlying cause of their academic struggles. We then use brain-based strategies to develop their skills, backfi ll their gaps and move them into new material when they have the tools to succeed with it. Because we take this individualized approach, it is not uncommon for us to see students catch up at a fast pace. But that doesn't happen because we are pu ng pressure on the students to move quickly. It's because we are ge ng to the root of what is causing their struggles. ยด How can parents fi nd out if their child might be a good fi t for the Marshall School? A common ques on parents have is whether their child needs to already have an Individualized Educa on Plan (IEP) to come to our school, and the answer is no. Crea ve, gi ed and struggling learners benefi t from our teaching strategies, low student-teacher ra o, and individualized approach. We are specially equipped to help students with brain processing and execu ve func oning struggles; how- ever, we do not specialize in behavioral or emo onal disorders. Parents who are interested in learning more can call the school at 540-412- 0992. Let's talk about what's going on and whether your child might be a good match. The next step would be to come in for an evalua on, which is the same evalua on we use at our Learning Enhancement Center tutoring center. It tells us exactly where the child is with brain processing and academic levels and gives us the informa on we need to cra a learning program that will serve those needs.
