Teachers Undergo Extensive

Professional Training At Brain

Hurricane
The concept of Brain Hurricane, a free tutoring
service for the students from Kindergarten to
eighth grade, was introduced by Reed Howard.
This program is a family business and has adopted
several efficient teaching methods which were
created after doing an extensive research.
These teaching methods are creative and
innovative and are efficient enough to hold the
attention of students which easily drifts off in
ordinary teaching methods. The students are
taught different ways to solve the problems and are
made to understand that every problem has
multiple solution i.e. they are divergent in nature.
Every tutoring session includes short 15 minute
activity which helps in making the students active
participants in class. At Brain Hurricane, emphasis
is laid on imparting practical knowledge among
students as it believes that practical knowledge
lays more impact on them as compared to
theoretical knowledge.
At this program, highly skilled and professional
teachers are employed who undergo extensive
professional training in order to understand the
teaching methods adopted here. They keep the
interest of students in mind while designing
curriculum for them. Stress is laid on mathematics,
vocabulary development and reading skills of
students.
The curriculum is aligned with national and state
standards and includes short fictional stories.
These programs emphasize on phonics, phonemic
awareness, and fluency of students.
Centre of Research in Educational Policy (CREP) at
the University of Memphis was provided with
complete 2007-2008 database of the scores of
students in all the pre and posttest administrations
of age appropriate Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS)
assessments. CREP evaluates “what works” in the
schools across nation.
After the research was conducted, CREP reached
on a conclusion that the students of Brain
Hurricane showed average gains of around
14%.To know more about the teaching methods
