Set Students Up for Success First we divide up the content of each course into bite-sized concepts students can master (usually, each School 21 concept aligns to a single state standard) |
Explain Concepts Clearly For each concept, we create learning resources, like videos, text explanations and interactive "solution reveal" problems |
Start with the Basics Our teacher-designed computer algorithms create problems for students to complete on their journey to Mastery, starting with easier problems |
Work Up to Mastery As students progress, we give them more difficult problems until they master the concept by showing fluency, conceptual understanding and real world application |
Give Instant, Detailed Feedback Every one of School 21's billion-plus problems comes with a Solution Explanation for that specific problem, which students see right after they submit their answer |
Encourage Students All along the way, students see encouraging messages and School 21's Mastery Meter shows them exactly where they are on their journey to Mastery |
Meet Learners at Their Level School 21's smart technology continuously adjusts problems to the student's Mastery level—easier problems when students need review and more challenging problems as they progress |
Report Progress to Adults Teachers and parents can easily see where students are on their path to Mastery, so they can offer encouragement and support |
Set Due Dates Teachers and parents can easily assign due dates for each concept to keep students on track |
Celebrate Progress The School 21 Dashboard shows students due dates, concept status, and how much they've achieved on their journey to Mastery for the entire course |
