]]> AVA has been a proud partner and supporter of the NJEA and Progressive Science/Math Initiatives through the NJ Center for Teaching & Learning (NJCTL) since it was started several years ago.  Dr. Robert Goodman, Director of NJCTL, spent much of his career in consumer electronics (ironically, JBL – one of AVA’s leading manufacturers) and later left to become a Physics teacher at Bergen County Technical School.  His methodology and curriculum is becoming viral globally in what is known as algebra-based “physics first.”  Being taught Biology, Chemistry, Physics in that sequence was determined in the 19th century – and in that order there is no story – it’s all memorization.  His approach is sequencing Physics, Chemistry, and then Biology – learned that way it all makes sense – it becomes a story.

The results prove it all!  With a 0% failure rate, every student taking Physics (and enjoying it), and scores over 5 times greater than NJ averages – it’s working!!  It’s worth a watch below…

“New Jersey approach” earns international award!

]]> We’re incredibly proud of the changes technology has made in the classroom over the years and are especially excited for what’s to come in the future.  But we also know technology doesn’t make a difference, if you don’t have the passionate people who use it.

With that in mind, and in partnership with SMART Technologies, we encourage you to visit “SMART Love of Learning” and submit your story for a chance to win a SMART Board for the school of your choice.

“The Magical Classroom” is a brilliant and emotional brand film that pays tribute to teachers, with responses to the question, “Who do you think is the best teacher in the world?”  We’re sure you’ll agree these acknowledgments are long overdue.

Panasonic Classroom Audio Systems make that possible! And now, classrooms more safe too!!

]]> It’s a proven fact that students that hear teachers better are students that can learn better!  It’s probably safe to say that teachers that can speak in a normal, one-on-one voice in the classroom are much happier and less exhausted at the end of the week!  Panasonic classroom audio systems make both possible…and more!  Teachers wear a small infrared wireless microphone that transmits their voice to a speaker system evenly distributing it through speakers in the classroom ceiling.  Handheld wireless microphones used by the students also help them feel more comfortable and confident as they increase their participation.  Panasonic also takes an ‘everyday’ teaching tool and gives it ‘First Response’ security capability, too.  Check out “The SAFE System” incorporated right into this increasingly popular classroom tool!

The Safe System website provides detailed information on functionality and a continuously updated list of school incident highlights.  Contact AVA for a demonstration, funding resources, and assistance with district wide implementation!
