Fill in gaps with adaptive software Every student has different skill gaps. Whether for intervention or enhancement it is ideal to have students focused on what they don’t know. In this session we will go over an adaptive software program for Language Arts and Math. MindPlay (language arts) and Ascend Math are two of the few intervention programs to provide a truly individualized study plan for each student. Both companies meet their students at their actual level of mastery – identifying skill gaps and tailoring instruction to focus on the most-needed content.

Ascend Math and MindPlay create a personalized prescriptive study plan for each student focused on individual need, whether that’s filling gaps quickly or building an accelerated course of study. In this way, teachers can address multiple levels of intervention within a single classroom and each student receives a rich, differentiated learning experience. Consequently, students are able to grow two or more grade levels in a semester or less.

Neither Ascend Math nor MindPlay are designed to take the place of a teacher, but rather to free up the teacher’s time to work one-on-one or in a small group setting. Conducting student data-talks and letting the students know what learning outcomes will come from using these programs is an important part of the curriculum.

We hope you will join us during the session.
