Strategies to Evaluate K-12 Online Math Programs: A Buyer’s Guide

If you’re an administrator, you know that effective data-driven instruction isn’t just about amassing data from an online learning program. After all, data is only as good as it is useful. Truly useful data is a key function of adaptive technology that allows for personalized learning instead of traditional one-size-fits-all classroom instruction. Adaptive technology holds the capabilities of providing immediate feedback to influence an instructional strategy or lesson, as well as providing relevant feedback during the process of learning—not just at the end—to both teacher and student.

How to Use Data-Driven Instruction to Reach Math Achievement Goals

By now you’ve probably read lots of studies confirming that the road to math proficiency and greater math achievement for all students, regardless where they are on the learning curve, is through Blended Learning and personalized instruction. The question for school administrators is no longer whether to implement this new teaching paradigm for math success, but how to make the transition. Our guidebook lays out the five key components of an effective Blended Learning framework to help keep your school stay on track at every step of the way.
