Build the Foundation for the Future
Students develop their literacy and learning habits during elementary school. A key growth point for students is when they advance from learning to read to reading to learn, so it’s essential for young students to receive the instruction, guidance, and support they need to master foundational skills and close early learning gaps.
Our elementary school online curriculum gives teachers engaging tools they can use throughout the school day to help students build foundational learning skills and habits and achieve success.
Enrichment + Intervention
Age-appropriate instruction that helps students catch up, keep up, and get ahead
Helping students build foundational learning skills in math, English language arts, science, and social studies is the first step toward academic success. The skills-based learning in Pathblazer® gives students the supplemental instruction and practice they need to develop these skills. And for students in need of more support in math and ELA, Pathblazer offers standards-based instruction that can be personalized to each individual students’ skill and ability level to help get them up to grade level.
Pathblazer’s curriculum can be used as a companion to in-classroom instruction, as well as both blended and virtual instruction.
Continuous Learning Support
Every lesson in Pathblazer provides students with the data-driven instruction and practice they need to master each skill
Pathblazer offers high-quality lessons in math, ELA, science, and social students built around a gradual-release instructional model of direct instruction, supported practice, independent practice, and assessment to help reinforce grade-level skills among elementary-school students. And for students in need of more support, educators can adapt the program to offer targeted, standards-based intervention in math and ELA as needed.
Direct Instruction
Engaging on-screen instructional videos teach students about a skill or concept. Students are presented with 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 help they receive are reduced, so they 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, educators are immediately notified so the student isn’t stuck in a loop of frustration and can accelerate forward.
How Pathblazer for Math + ELA Intervention Works
The fun, motivating content in Pathblazer keeps students engaged as they learn, which helps accelerate them to grade level.
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 automatically assigned a personalized learning path designed to fill gaps and accelerate them to on-level mastery. All math and ELA lessons are aligned to state standards and the Common Core, and built around a gradual-release instructional model of explicit instruction, supported and independent practice, and assessment.
Monitor Progress
The real-time intervention reports in Pathblazer track student progress toward standards mastery, inform small-group instruction, and help teachers plan for one-on-one instruction with students.
