"We finally got Fabio really serious about playing Guitar."
"His second grade teacher commented on the improved quality of his homework."
"GoalUP is helping to push all the right buttons. I'm really glad we discovered it!"
GoalUP launched its first pilot program on middle school students in Louisiana and saw incredible growth in student achievement.
“I coached Ms. Amanda Galonek in her second year of teaching, when she first told me she was using the GoalUP program. The GoalUP program dramatically influenced her students’ motivation and achievement. Ms. Galonek’s students achieved 150% of their academic goals and grew 130% in reading levels. Truly an inspiring achievement!”
“As a middle school special education teacher, many of my students are years behind their current grade level when it comes to reading. Unfortunately this is common at high risk schools across the country and undoubtedly related to the unfortunate statistic that 32 million adults in the U.S. still cannot read. To greatly improve their reading skills students deserve access to the power of individualized goal setting; they deserve GoalUP. For me and for my students, it is imperative that tools are available to help compel them to set and achieve goals around reading so that they can experience the power and confidence that comes from becoming an educated member of society. GoalUP believes in personal growth, believes in kids, believes in teachers, believes in parents, and believes in our future. "
