| | DECEMBER 202319Our research shows that by implementing the Fueling Brains system of learning and by using our software to reliably track a student's brain development, educators can work with students, building up their executive function skills and allowing them to become better learnersthe Parent University portal, where parents can see data about their child's development, communicate with the teacher, search activities, and build home intelligence plans. A district where Fueling Brains is implemented is Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District in Houston. Before implementing the program, the team worked with the University of Houston-Clear Lake to assess baseline data of their students' brain scores. The results indicated limited brain development was occurring in their PreK 3 through Kindergarten program. Although teachers were working hard to deliver curriculum content, many students were simply not ready. Their brain development had not yet reached the capacity to meaningfully engage in learning and teachers had not been given the tools to address brain gaps. After implementing Fueling Brains at three centralized early learning academies, Goose Creek CISD's brain scores showed a marked improvement leading to students being ready for curriculum content. Classrooms using Fueling Brains showed strong academic indicators scoring 11 percent higher in their literacy and 8 percent higher in math. Susan Jackson, Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction at Goose Creek CISD said, "Implementing Fueling Brains at Goose Creek CISD has positively changed the landscape in our early learning program. Understanding the importance of student brain development has helped us create a learning environment, designed to close achievement gaps. With Fueling Brains, we are 100 percent confident we are setting our students up for success in their academic journeys."Fueling Brains facilitates a paradigm shift for many districts, moving from content-focused strategies to brain development.
