Historical Achievements |
Within the Ventures Initiative and Focus® system, specialty programs for Instructional Leadership, Literacy Instruction, Math & Science, Early Childhood Literacy, Special Education and Limited English Language Learners are available. These programs are specifically designed to assist school districts in meeting the many challenges presented by the federal "No Child Left Behind Legislation." VESC™ has been implementing these programs throughout the nation with excellent objective results. These positive results are not limited to increased test scores and college placements, but extend to renewed school morale and a deep sense of personal achievement shared by the administration, teachers and most importantly, the students.

| Most recently, VESC™ has introduced a new and innovative program based on earlier VESC™ successful initiatives, aimed at training principals who play a critical leadership role. Aptly named the Practicum for Principals and Instructional Supervisors™, this unique program focuses on the creation of a positive school culture and the improvement of instructional leadership to promote student achievement. This comprehensive, full-year, professional development program aims to equip school leadership with the tools necessary to supervise instruction more effectively within their sphere of responsibility. The program includes strategic planning seminars, workshops, hands-on site visits/mentoring and extensive training materials, including a course manual and CD-ROM software. |

The Ventures Education Systems Corporation was launched in 1997 by President Maxine Bleich to provide a vehicle for the broad international distribution of proven research-based and applied systems of learning, including the Ventures Initiative and Focus® system of student-centered learning and other related products and services. Under Bleich's direction, and through the longstanding dedication and work of her professional staff, the Ventures Initiative and Focus® system has been developed, applied, refined, and integrated within schools nationwide, at all educational levels, over the past 30 years. The complete system, and its individual components, have been successfully replicated and sustained in both urban and rural schools K-12 nationwide.
VESC™'s systematic student-centered approach to learning achieves excellent results with all students, including students from culturally diverse, economically and educationally disadvantaged, and special populations -- some of whom have been labeled by others as difficult to teach or nonteachable. Implementation of the Ventures Initiative and Focus® system leads naturally to improved learning, performance, achievement and actively engaged, lifelong learners.
