Buy 10-pack Study Buddies, Receive Brainchild Achiever! Free for Entire School

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schools looking for help in preparing for state assessments now can receive FREE access to Brainchild (www.brainchild.com) Achiever! online assessment and instruction program for the entire school by purchasing one 10-pack of Brainchild’s Study Buddy hand-held tutors before March 31, 2010.

“When teachers see how easy it is to use Achiever! and how powerful the system is, Achiever! becomes an indispensable teaching tool for their classroom.”

Achiever! assesses standards-based performance and then delivers targeted learning tutorials that help students improve their performance on state assessments. Achiever! is often used in conjunction with Study Buddies and print-based tutorials in the Brainchild Academy Concept, which is a multimodal method of combining print and digital resources with face-to-face instruction. Students work through three stations: 1) Achiever! for diagnosis and assessment, 2) Study Buddy for instruction and 3) Achiever! worksheets or other supplemental print materials for reinforcing instruction.

“Brainchild instructional tools make data-driven instruction easy because they are built on each state’s standards and they are proven successful,” said Jeff Cameron, Brainchild president. “When teachers see how easy it is to use Achiever! and how powerful the system is, Achiever! becomes an indispensable teaching tool for their classroom.”

Whether used in the classroom, after school or at home, when students have mastered the standards in their personal Achiever! learning plans, they see high achievement on their state’s high stakes assessments. Achiever! also includes Spanish support so that students can read Achiever! test questions and answers in Spanish and go through tutorials—including all the on-screen animations, illustrations, text and audio narrations—in either language.

Free access to Achiever! is given to the school through July 31, 2010 with the purchase of at least one ten-pack of Study Buddies. “This offer is for the remainder of 2009-10 school year and the summer months because Achiever! has been proven to help struggling students improve their performance and pass state exams, which is a focus of many summer school programs,” said Cameron.
