Don Soifer, executive vice president of the Lexington Institute, for Latino children and their families, "an online learning revolution could hardly come at a better time."
Today two in five Latino eighth graders continue to score at miserable “below basic” levels on the National Assessment for Educational Progress, Soifer writes.
How can online learning help Latino students mired in failing schools? "For starters, high-quality online (or online hybrid) programs provide teachers with continuous verification of individual students’ content mastery, allowing them to specialize instruction to their particular needs. Such efficiency in instruction, which can already be found in the best classrooms in the best schools, can make a world of difference," says Soifer.
Soifer is right that using new technology as an educational tool can help to change young lives.
