What Lesson Modes are available and how are they different?
There are three different lesson modes.
Assessment Mode - Quickly identifies a starting point
Learning Target Mode - Aligns with the student's IEP goals or learning targets
Reinforcement Mode - Provides ongoing skill reinforcement to ensure retention of skills/concepts
Assessment Mode
| What it is | When to use |
A built-in proprietary algorithm assesses student answers in real-time Pushes a student forward to more advanced skills when proficiency is demonstrated Reinforces foundational skills when needed Identifies an initial starting point, this mode can also be a powerful tool to help Assesses a student's skill gaps to connect with resources found in the Standards Edition curriculum |
Assess a newly enrolled/identified student Measure skill retention following an extended break from school (summer break, winter holiday) Measure the impact of instruction to inform adjustments to a student's learning plan |
Learning Target Mode
| What it is | When to use |
The educator starts the student at the "Starting Point" identified in Assessment Mode and then selects a target skill that matches the student’s IEP goal or individual skill target Generates a lesson plan that includes each key foundational skill needed to help the student reach the goal Releases each additional new skill, with teacher input, when the student is ready to progress Allows the educator to intervene when needed Includes crosswalks to the Standards Edition curriculum, making it easy to differentiate support and maximize student potential |
After a starting point is identified by the Assessment Mode Measure progress toward the student's specific IEP goal or learning target Support students with print curriculum resources aligned with the student's IEP goal |
Reinforcement Mode
| What it is | When to use |
A blended digital and print mode that guides educators to create learning plans Allows targeted practice on specific skill gaps identified during Learning Target plans Offers ongoing reinforcement to students, helping them retain previously learned math concepts and skills Reinforces skills and maintains retention without recycling problems |
To create learning plans for targeted practice on a particular skill (or combination of skills) Reinforces previously learned skills to ensure long-term retention Provide additional review when skill gaps are identified in the Learning Target Mode |
