The Mission of Educational Synthesis

The Mission of Educational Synthesis is to further the practice of education to meet the demands of the 21st Century.

Part of our mission is to help insure that students with special needs and limitations will be able to find useful educational content online.

Part of our mission is to carry forward the ideals of individualized education. The more choices in what and how students learn, the greater the educational outcome.

Part of our mission is to develop a curriculum that is inclusive of all students from gifted to uniquelly handicapped. We are developing goals, benchmarks, and objectives which can be met with lesson plans and activities that are within the reach of all students.

Part of our mission is to create a web site with links to meet curricular needs in K-12. Good content is developed and good links are collected. As the above curriculum is developed, there will be links between the curricular objectives and the web content.

Part of our mission is to help teachers, parents and students take advantage of the technology of the 21st century. From workshops to web space, to our monthly Newsletter, we aim to enlarge the circle of Internet-using students and teachers.
