The Family-Educator Learning Accelerator (FELA) framework of 5-10 week cycles during which teachers and parents share a game plan to help children reach learning goals. This methodology drives results and powers all of Springboard’s program offerings. And secondly, through Springboard Learning Accelerators (SLA) which provide the structure and support educators and families need to set and achieve reading goals.
