The 21st century is defined by global competition for the world’s most valuable asset, human capital, and the quality of education becomes a critical factor that determines the prosperity of the country and its people (Milken, 2009). However, since 1960’s all attempts of the US government to solve the crisis in public education failed (Samuelson, 2010), and now our students are behind their counterparts in the rest of the world (Duncan, 2010).
Screen Mentor offers a powerful solution to the crisis in education: It is an innovative, artificial intelligence and cognitive science–based sophisticated software – the Intelligent Educational Suite (IES). IES is a complex of integrated intelligent systems designed to support all participants of educational process: students, their parents and teachers, school principals and school administrators at all levels.
Screen Mentor initiated creation of Connecticut Educational Partnership (CEP). The partners will collaborate in development, testing and implementation of IES. The current members of CEP are:
These are some samples of work of the IES project participants:
Screen Mentor intends to help the Connecticut Department of Education to transform public education. Our primary goal is to significantly reduce achievement gap and dropout rate in all participating school districts. We hope that IES will help Connecticut reform its public education, and our State will become a model for the United States.
