Four Tullahoma City Elementary schools have partnered with Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes to receive long-distance reading support with the help of an Instructional Robot. The focus of instruction will be in reading and language comprehension. Lindamood-Bell provides literacy solutions and professional development to schools/districts throughout the United States. The robot is a mobile device with an iPad attached, enabling a Lindamood-Bell® instructor to observe instruction remotely over a streaming video session, interacting with staff and students in real time.
“I wanted to bring Lindamood-Bell, not previously accessible to rural communities, to our district to provide an incredibly successful reading intervention to help our students become strong readers,” stated Kim Adkins, District Assessment Coordinator.
Twenty-six teachers from Bel-Air, East Lincoln, Jack T. Farrar, and Robert E. Lee Elementary schools attended Lindamood-Bell’s Seeing Stars® and Visualizing and Verbalizing® workshops this summer. From now through March 11th, teachers will receive lesson planning and mentoring support from a team of virtual consultants, via “Lucky” the Instructional Robot. The technology allows Lindamood-Bell to assist students and staff from miles away, saving the schools and districts on travel expenses and time.
