Have you ever wondered about screening your students to see what their strengths and weaknesses are?

Vice President at First Step, Inc. of Michigan d.b.a. Project First Step & Jump into Kindergarten
Your students come to you with various skills and weaknesses. You want to know how to help each of these children to learn, but how do you know how to teach them? They aren't cookies cut from the same cookie cutter. Their needs are different. How would you like to be able to screen each child in less than five minutes and be able to see where their lapses occur? For instance, if a child can't cross his/her midline, that child will probably struggle in math and reading (in that order).
Project First Step has data on thousands of children from three countries beginning in 1991. We provide one-day Screening Seminars teaching teachers and aides how to evaluate the children's strengths and weaknesses and provides ideas to help these children learn better.
