Education is always evolving and Yavneh Academy is proud to be part of the change. Through countless 21st century tools, including the iPad, worldwide internet access and apps for every discipline, the way students are learning has vastly grown in the past decade. Providing students with engaging, enriching and intuitive multimedia delivers great benefits. This thinking led Yavneh Academy to create Goldberg Academy: The One Stop Shop for All Things Math.
The program has been built as an accessory to Yavneh Academy’s seventh grade current in-class curriculum. Through its over 25 lessons and 6 courses (rapidly growing), Goldberg Academy is able to provide an additional asset to classroom learning in multiple topics. The lessons range from 12-17 minutes and many consist of additional practice materials, successfully utilizing the possibilities of multimedia. Over 50 percent of Yavneh Academy’s middle school students benefit from the interactive videos and materials, further enhancing their knowledge of current classroom topics. The project, led by veteran math instructor Howard Goldberg, in collaboration with Noah Schultz, along with Zachary Mankowitz and Seth Hanauer, started as a vague idea and has led to a tool utilized by a majority of middle school math classes.
