Help Your Students Build Foundational Skills and Develop Digital Literacy
Students begin developing their literacy and learning habits during their elementary school years, so it’s essential for these young learners to receive the instruction and practice they need to close early gaps and master essential skills in math, reading, and learning in general.
Our elementary school online curriculum and learning solutions give teachers engaging tools they can use throughout the school day to help students build foundational learning skills and habits and achieve success.
Personalized Intervention
Developing solid literacy skills and core math concepts are the first steps toward academic success. To help struggling students close gaps in math and reading, Pathblazer® gives students an individualized path to move toward grade-level proficiency.
How Pathblazer Works
Pinpoint Gaps
Students begin by taking an adaptive screener to determine functional level, and then a diagnostic pretest at that level to pinpoint skill gaps. Or schools can import existing student data from one of our assessment integration partners to create prescriptive learning paths without additional testing.
Personalize Instruction
Each student is assigned an individualized learning path designed to fill gaps and accelerate them to on-level mastery. All lessons are aligned to state standards and the Common Core, and built around a gradual-release instructional model of explicit instruction, supported practice, independent practice, and assessment.
Monitor Progress
The intervention reports in Pathblazer track student progress toward standards mastery, inform small group instruction, and help teachers plan for small-group and one-on-one instruction with students.
Continuous Learning Support
Every lesson in Pathblazer provides students with the instruction and practice they need to master each skill.
Direct Instruction
Engaging on-screen instructional videos teach students about a skill or concept. Students receive examples, modeling, and real-world contexts in a dynamic and fun environment.
Supported Practice
Students then have the opportunity to practice the skill they were just taught. Scaffolds, like hints and reteaching, help students become competent at the skill without getting frustrated.
Independent Practice
As students work through an activity, the supports and scaffolds they receive are reduced, so students can work more on their own. Students still receive immediate feedback if they make a mistake, but the feedback becomes more limited in scope.
Assessments
Activity quizzes and unit tests inform continuous feedback for students and teachers. This way, if additional intervention is needed, it is known immediately so the student isn’t stuck in a loop of frustration and can accelerate forward.
