Product Training
Adopting new standards and streamlining formative assessment within the cycle of instruction requires a new way of teaching.
The learning map facilitates the first steps to aligning curriculum and assessment with state standards, college-readiness standards, or the Common Core State Standards.
To help you apply changes in the classroom, our experts can create a roadmap of services ranging from basic implementation to product training and organizational change management.
Technology Support
Technical training for school and district staff helps them install, manage, troubleshoot, and provide ongoing support for the software. Ongoing technical support is available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.
Learning Trajectory Posters
To support the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, mathematics education experts Drs. Jere Confrey, Alan Maloney and Kenny Nguyen created Learning Trajectory Posters designed for display and use in the classroom.
The posters provide the fundamental knowledge teachers need to drive documentable student progress based on the Common Core State Standards for mathematics through formative assessment and instruction.
Professional Development
Customized, intensive Professional Development and embedded data coaching programs can be tailored to to the needs of each state, district, or building’s needs.
Integrated Tools
The action tool helps teachers analyze performance, group students with similar needs, and create targeted instructional plans for each learning standard.
The resources tool links to lesson plans or professional development content directly related to the individual standard being taught.
