JFYNet: Digital Teaching for Digital Learners

Today’s students are the digital generation. To compete for their attention, education has to meet them where they are—online. JFYNet is a structured e-learning program that gives teachers and students the digital tools and professional support they need to maximize learning. Trained instructional technology specialists provide professional development working with teachers in the classroom on an ongoing basis to develop and adapt curriculum, interpret data, individualize instruction and monitor student progress so that students master the material for which they are accountable. JFYNet has demonstrated consistent success in introducing and nurturing the use of technology in school  classrooms. JFYNet offers complete middle and high school math curricula, an online middle school science curriculum and a high school biology review curriculum. MCAS results over the past ten years show that students in JFYNet programs consistently score higher than their peers. This holds true for all subgroups.

JFYNet offers the following services:

MCAS Express: A standards-aligned software curriculum that helps students meet federal and state requirements.

Target and Teach: An online assessment system that delivers real-time benchmark and formative assessments to pinpoint student performance and ensure data-driven alignment of instructional content.
