Intensified Accelerated Systems, Inc.

Entrepreneur: Augusta Mann

Founded: 1998

Building on years of highly effective, standalone, literacy-based video courses, Intensified Accelerated Systems has created Student Academic Mastery Performances (SAMP), an initiative that cultivates school and community partnerships to advance Black students’ early literacy skills. Teachers, community groups and families leverage original, online videos to support students in developing foundational literacy skills at school, at community centers including churches, and at home. Literacy skills are reinforced in the different spaces of a student’s life. The culmination of students’ learning results in a school performance (in a classroom) and community performance (in a community center).
