One year of academic growth in just 40 hours of instruction

Many people believe that improving a child’s self- Many people believe that improving a child’s self-esteem is the key to improving their performance in school. Learning science points in the opposite direction!When students develop true fluency in foundational skills, they become more confident because they know they can succeed. They stop second-guessing themselves, participate more, persevere through challenges, and are willing to take on more difficult work.A student who hasn’t had the opportunity to master core skills often spends every lesson wondering:“Do I know this? Should I answer? What if I get it wrong?”That uncertainty doesn’t build confidence; competence does!When students experience effective instruction, frequent opportunities to respond, and enough practice to achieve fluency, confidence follows naturally.Strong skills create confident learners, not the other way around. #fitlearningonline #competency #education #learning #confidence
As the new school year approaches, many families b As the new school year approaches, many families begin looking for tutoring options to help their children succeed!It can be tempting to choose the biggest name or the company you’ve seen advertised the most. But a familiar brand doesn’t necessarily mean a more effective program.Instead, ask questions like: • Is the instruction backed by scientific research? • How is student progress measured? • What evidence shows the program actually works? • How are instructors trained?At Fit Learning Online, we choose to invest in rigorous instructor training, evidence-based instruction, and data-driven teaching methods. Our priority isn’t building the biggest advertising budget. It’s helping students achieve meaningful, measurable progress.This school year, don’t choose a tutoring program based on the brand. Choose one based on the results it helps students achieve!#fitlearningonline #education #backtoschool #tutoring #k12
Learning is cumulative. Every new concept builds o Learning is cumulative. Every new concept builds on skills that came before it. When foundational skills haven’t been fully mastered, students may struggle with grade-level material, not because they can’t learn, but because they’re missing the building blocks those lessons depend on.That’s why fluency matters!Fluency is more than getting the right answer. It’s the combination of accuracy and speed that allows foundational skills to become durable, effortless, and available for tackling more complex learning.When core academic skills become fluent, students are better prepared to succeed in the classroom and beyond.✨ Make sure your child starts the school year with a strong foundation!#Fitlearningonline #backtoschool #fluency #mastery #education
Learning doesn’t happen by watching someone else l Learning doesn’t happen by watching someone else learn.In too many classrooms, the teacher does most of the talking while students spend most of their time listening. Then comes the familiar routine: a question is asked, a few hands go up, one student answers, and the lesson moves on.From a learning science perspective, that means only one student is actively responding and receiving immediate feedback. Students learn by doing!That’s why effective instruction creates frequent opportunities for every learner to actively respond, practice, and receive immediate feedback, not just the handful of students who raise their hands first.The more often students actively engage with the material, the more opportunities they have to learn.🎙️ Listen to the full Chalk & Talk podcast with Dr. Kimberly Berens and Anna Stokke at the link in our bio!#FitLearningonline #DirectInstruction #BehaviorScience #PrecisionTeaching #EvidenceBasedEducation
Where is 80% good enough? Would you want someone t Where is 80% good enough?Would you want someone to stop at stop signs only 80% of the time? Count your money correctly 80% of the time? Show up to work 80% of the time?Probably not!Yet in many educational settings, 80% accuracy is often treated as the benchmark for mastery.We believe students deserve more than being mostly correct. True mastery means performing skills accurately, fluently, and confidently so they can use them independently when it matters most.Because the goal isn’t just getting the right answer. It’s building skills that last!#fitlearningonline #FitLearning #fluency #Education #k12
There’s still time to give your child a head start There’s still time to give your child a head start before the first day of school!In just 40 hours, students at Fit Learning Online typically achieve 1–2 years of academic growth through individualized, science-based instruction that targets the skills they need most.Whether your child needs extra support or is ready to get ahead, our instructors use precision teaching and behavioral science to build lasting fluency, not just short-term improvement.Imagine starting the new school year feeling confident instead of playing catch-up.It’s not too late to make this summer count!Visit the link in our bio to learn more about Fit Learning Online and reserve your spot before school begins. #FitLearningonline #summerlearning #backtoschool #schoolsuccess #education
It’s easy to focus on what children are doing wron It’s easy to focus on what children are doing wrong. But real behavior change starts when we also notice what they’re doing right.The behaviors that are acknowledged and reinforced are the ones most likely to increase. Instead of waiting for perfect behavior, start by catching the small wins. Maybe they stayed seated while you finished talking. Maybe they followed one direction or started a task without being reminded. Those moments are worth reinforcing!You don’t have to ignore challenging behavior. Just make a habit of looking for opportunities to acknowledge the behavior you want to see more often. Every child has something you can reinforce. Sometimes you just have to start small!What positive behavior can you catch today? 💙 #fitlearningonline #positivereinforcement #behavior #education #k12
Children aren’t born hating learning! Watch a tod Children aren’t born hating learning!Watch a toddler explore the world. They ask questions, experiment, imitate, and try again. Learning is one of the most natural things they do.So why do so many students begin to dread school?Many children are expected to perform skills before they’ve mastered the foundational building blocks those skills depend on. When learning feels confusing or consistently difficult, frustration replaces curiosity, and avoidance often follows.When instruction is designed around the science of learning, students receive explicit teaching, meaningful practice, immediate feedback, and the opportunity to master prerequisite skills before moving on. As competence grows, confidence follows.🎙️ This clip is from Dr. Kimberly Berens’ conversation on the Why Distance Learning? podcast.
