Naomi Parker Fraley Education
NPF Education provides students with a unique opportunity to distinguish themselves from their peers by developing their talents, engaging in diverse extracurricular activities, and pursuing unconventional academic interests. This approach allows students to learn without the constraints of standardized public schooling, which can limit creativity and individuality.
Due to the nature of microschooling, students are encouraged to build knowledge through reading, resulting in impressive reading lists that frequently exceed those of public school students. This enriched reading experience helps students explore various topics and develop a deeper understanding of their chosen subjects.
Universities recognize the value of this approach and encourage students to enhance their reading lists with a variety of topics that reflect their interests and aspirations, helping them stand out during the college application process. Check out some of our current novels on the Riveter Reading List.
NPF is proud to utilize Core Knowledge in our daily curriculum. For more information about students’ resources, visit https://www.coreknowledge.org/.
E-Learning
Research shows that https://www.ixl.com accelerates learning. Independent studies from Johns Hopkins University confirm that IXL meets the ESSA Tier 1 standards for evidence-based efficacy.
NPF utilizes IXL. Studies have found that IXL:
- Leads to higher test scores, with IXL schools scoring as much as 15 percentile points higher in math and 17 percentile points higher in language arts on state assessments.
- Predicts success, with valid research showing that IXL’s Diagnostic is an accurate measure of student achievement and a strong predictor of performance on standardized assessments, including NWEA MAP, Star, FAST/B.E.S.T., PSSA, and other state assessments.
- Benefits all students, including English Language Learners (ELLs), students with disabilities (SPED), Title I schools, and urban and rural schools, which often experience even greater gains with IXL.
Lastly, IXL provides teachers with the support and resources needed to personalize instruction, ensuring they can focus more on each student's individual needs.
