How does PACE work?
The primary cause of poor learning is that many skills needed for efficient learning, which should be subconscious (automatic) are not. For example, a fluent reader does not sound out words or pause to think of their meanings. These skills should be automatic. If they aren't, comprehension suffers.
The child who has to work consciously at sounding out letters and blending those sounds, uses all his or her effort on the act of reading. This means that there isn't enough left over to comprehend the ideas that were read. Therefore, understanding and memory suffer. PACE procedures help conscious and deficient skills, which should be subconscious to become subconscious. Then, the conscious mind can concentrate on comprehending, remembering, and understanding.
PACE training sessions are intense
PACE consists of 36 hours of training that provide one-on-one help over twelve weeks. For most of the session, the pace is fast and intense. They trainer provides constant feedback as the student progresses through sequenced levels.
Each procedure is graded according to difficulty and tasks become progressively more complex. Pace is regulated by mastery, so the number of tasks completed during training differ from student to student. In other words, once the student passes a task, he or she is then allowed to progress to the next challenge (and more difficult task).
To improve a poor habitual skill, the skill must first be brought from the unconscious level (where all habitual skills are located) to the conscious level. Then, as the skill is refined, it is forced back to the subconscious level with PACE training so that the child can perform better. A child who does not have to think about the act of reading is a much better reader - just as the typist who does not have to think about keys or finger placement is a much better typist.
Normally, new skills are put into the subconscious by repeating them over and over. All traditional training works this way, whether it's physical, speed, auditory, language, or occupational. Integrative PACE training causes new skills to become subconscious more quickly and effectively.
PACE training asks the child to do an increasing number of processing tasks at a time. If the child is able to do two tasks at the same time, a third is added. If he or she is able to do three tasks simultaneously, a fourth is added. Since the conscious mind can only handle one task at a time, the others are forced to the subconscious, which is exactly where you want most processing skills.
The result is that the child no longer has to learn to process information and can now process information to learn.
This is because PACE improves concentration, memory, visualization, integration, and processing speed and makes than all become more automatic. And that makes learning easier, faster and more enjoyable because the child can now successfully learn.
Successful learning is the ability to stay on task and not be distracted. Successful learning is the ability to handle multiple things at one time. Successful learning is the speed at which a child can handle tasks. Successful learning is the ability to comprehend and remember what was read.
Successful learning makes a child feel good because of his or her improved studies and accomplishments. And parents feel good as well because the average improvement after 12 weeks of training is 3.6 years in processing skills.
The third most common comment that parents make at the end of training is that their child is able to stay on task. THe second most common cogent is that their child gets homework done faster or often doesn't' need to bring homework home anymore. This is because the child's ability to concentrate, comprehend, understand and get things done faster is greatly improved after training.
Additionally, with PACE training procedures, a child achieves success after success and can see the improvements in his or her ability to learn. This causes self-image to improve - which is the number one comment made by parents. In fact, sixty percent of the parents we see at the end of training comment on the improvement in their child's self-image and attitude.
