Three districts describe their successes using software that individualizes instruction and improves student achievement
DULUTH, GA — January 19, 2010 — In a classroom full of students with diverse needs, teachers are challenged to individualize instruction so every student achieves growth. As struggling learners fall behind, their individual performance as well as school and district goals are negatively impacted. In a growing number of school districts, the answer to this challenge lies in sophisticated software systems that help individualize instruction by analyzing student performance and then prescribing lessons that meet the student’s specific needs and even learning styles.
One of the most successful of these systems is Classworks® comprehensive K-12 instructional software. Developed by Curriculum Advantage, Inc., Classworks provides individualized instruction in math, reading, language arts and science to bring at-risk students to grade level proficiency, accelerate learning for mainstream students, and help English learners build fluency. It offers educators more than 17,000 activities drawn from 265 top software titles to customize instruction and increase performance.
