“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”
– Warren G. Bennis
This is another in a series of blog posts where I am sharing resources to support teachers, these posts include descriptions of services, subscriptions, programs, aids, SUPPORTS for learning that we are putting into place intentionally and deliberately to support teachers and students. We have a PLAN to help teachers SUCCEED as they Engage, Inspire & Empower!
Many of these web based subscriptions will allow for 24/7 – school/home access! The possibilities are endless for our learning as we truly become a COMMUNITY of learners.
The content/subscription descriptions come directly from the company websites; and/or are heavily influencing the descriptions listed – website links to the source are listed in each section and sub-section.
(Amy Rubin) IXL ELA:
IXL is aligned to the Common Core State Standards, and standards for all 50 US states as well as the District of Columbia and DoDEA, making it an invaluable tool for state standards preparation. IXL offers a list of recommended practice skills for each strand, so it’s easy for teachers to find the best skills for their students. And best of all, teachers can monitor their students’ state standards readiness throughout the year to ensure that their classes are on the right track.
IXL brings language arts to life, offering a wealth of standards-aligned skills in vocabulary and grammar for grades 2–6.
From comparative adjectives, to irregular plurals, to subordinating conjunctions, we’ve got the content your students need to become word wizards! Are you covering verbs in class? Reinforce your lessons with IXL, where we offer multiple verb skills for grades 2–6. Students get access to all grades, so there’s nothing stopping them from moving ahead when they’re feeling confident about a topic, or going back a grade level for a little review. Are they having trouble with a particular skill? We provide a detailed, question-specific explanation whenever students answer a question incorrectly, so they can try to learn from their own mistakes before asking the teacher for help.
IXL language arts offers a variety of interactive question types designed to capture students’ attention. Students’ abilities will soar as they interact with engaging texts, correct grammatical errors, and decode new words in a variety of contexts. IXL’s questions adapt to students’ abilities, becoming easier if they’re struggling and harder if they’re excelling. This creates an encouraging learning environment where they can take things at their own pace, but where they still feel challenged to do their best.
