SUMMARY
CMT
Review will increase student achievement on the CMTs by providing
effective distance learning tutorials that take advantage
of cablecast TV and the Internet-two low-cost/high impact
methods for curriculum reinforcement.
TV and the Internet provide equality of opportunity for students
and families by providing vast amounts of resources that are
easily accessible. The creation of personalized tutorials
utilizing available resources will help reduce economic and
minority isolation.
“Traditional classroom instruction
is extended and enhanced by the use of TV and the Internet.
CMT Review tutorials are designed to take advantage of the
huge market penetration of TV and the Internet thus encouraging
after school participation by students as well as parents.
This participation naturally helps promote a comfort level
with tutorials and test review materials and will promote
the parental and community involvement necessary for an academically
successful student.”
