The Teacher Experience
We believe that technology should not replace teachers!
Can today’s artificial intelligence know which kid had a bad night, missed breakfast, or was impatient and making silly errors?
Today’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) cannot assess WHY a student is struggling to read—it can barely recognize children’s speech, much less discriminate between phonemes. So-called “adaptive programs” can only respond to a student’s error by mechanistically repeating previous material—a kid’s version of Groundhog Day.
Teachers, however, are both intelligent and adaptive!
The CAPIT Reading Curriculum is the only digital-learning platform that uses the most intelligent and adaptive instrument available: Teachers!
Teachers know if a student is rushing and needs to S-L-O-W D-O-W-N.
Teachers know if a student is struggling with a particular Sound or Spelling.
Teachers can support EL learners when they struggle to spell words they don’t know.
Teachers can support struggling readers by giving them more time on task and offering consistent and immediate feedback.
Teachers can bring lessons to life by making them relevant to students’ lives.
Teachers can excite students by setting goals and (real) rewards.
And while digital programs can reward students for their accomplishments, real teachers can congratulate students for their Time and Effort—an intangible that no digital device can measure.
CAPIT is a digital curriculum that offers all the benefits of technology yet does not replace the teacher.
