TitleSoftware Program Aims to HELP Latinos Learn the Language of Mathematics, CO
Body
Suzie C. Romig reports in the Glenwood Springs Post Independent on new
software known as the Help with English Language Proficiency (HELP)
program developed by Digital Directions International of Carbondale and
Boulder, along with the Roaring Fork School District. This software is meant to
assist English language learners with learning concepts and vocabulary in
mathematics.

According to William J. Moloney, Commissioner of the Colorado Department
of Education, the program addresses an important area that is neglected.
Particularly of interest, he added, is "HELP's ability to create an online, multi-
sensory program, which is fully aligned to Colorado math standards,
benchmarks and assessments." Though initially being tested only in
Colorado, the distributors hope one day to make it a national program.
