Ascend offers more than drill and practice - multiple modalities of learning are offered, including:
     *Video Instruction
     *Student Centered Explorations to Reinforce Learning
     *Interactive Practice with Immediate Feedback & Opportunities for Reteaching
     *Printable Resources

Fully automated, requiring little teacher time!  Teachers simply pull reports to gauge success, spending no more than 1 hour per week (avg.) pulling reports vs. 6 hours per week manipulating course plans on other technology programs.

Students learn math regardless of reading level.  Ascend shows superior results with ESE, ESOL and other special students because of the video and audio support and limited emphasis on reading.

Students are guided automatically through their individualized study plans.

Flexible usage!  Students can work daily at their own pace on a full school year's lessons or more to reach grade-level proficiency.

Ascend enriches and accelerates gifted students, while at the same time it helps students who are well below grade level "catch up."

Ascend delivers a high interest, mature student interface regardless of grade level.
