Review Class (in-class): Student-centered adaptive practice derived from data compiled from previously completed adaptive practices from each lesson.
Review classes are a cumulative grouping of adaptive practices from various lessons that have already been taught. This review covers the biggest weaknesses on everything students learned, and is tailored to each student’s specific areas of need. In order to include a lesson in the scope of Review Classes, you must take attendance for that lesson. Visit our help desk to learn more about Review Classes.
Adaptive Practice (at home): Practice makes perfect!
Practice is functional on mobile devices, but we recommend a laptop or tablet for an ideal experience. Please have students use Google Chrome to access the website.
Study Hall (at home): Optional assigned homework that will drive score improvement.
This is to be completed after all walkthrough examples for the hour block are completed. This column shows where students can find the homework videos and materials.
