LearnZillion Illustrative Mathematics Student Spotlight Lessons Now Available for Classroom and Distance Learning

Video series showcasing authentic student discussions now integrated into LearnZillion platform for students in grades 6–8

PRWEB | Scottsdale, Arizona | October 21, 2020

Today, education software company LearnZillion announced that Spotlight Lessons aligned with its recently launched Student Spotlight Project have been integrated into LearnZillion Illustrative Mathematics grades 6–8. The Student Spotlight Project is a series of engaging videos that feature middle-school students from across the United States collaborating virtually in a “Zoom-like” format. The LearnZillion IM Student Spotlight Lessons harness peer power by connecting students for on-demand models of small-group collaboration during asynchronous work time.

The Student Spotlight Lessons align with each part of an Illustrative Mathematics lesson—including the warm-up, the activities/task, and the synthesis—and include interactive discussions featuring student thinking, strategies, and productive struggle within the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum, which emphasizes supporting the whole learner.

“During this unique time in education, it’s as important as ever to engage students’ minds in authentic, age-appropriate mathematical reasoning whenever, wherever, and however they learn best,” said Kate Nowak, Vice President of Product Strategy for Illustrative Mathematics. “Our certified partner LearnZillion has developed this highly innovative way to focus students’ attention on meaningful conversations and provide more opportunities to justify their reasoning and critique the reasoning of others. We’re grateful for their efforts to preserve the integrity of Illustrative Mathematics’ careful research-based curriculum design while adapting to meet the challenges inherent to different instructional environments.”

Each Student Spotlight Lesson is designed to drive student engagement and motivation by showcasing how different students grapple through various tasks, challenges, and milestones within the curriculum. These lessons foster a growth mindset, promote accountability for learning, and connect students to meaningful math discourse, whether they are inside or outside of the classroom.

The LearnZillion Illustrative Mathematics Grades 6–8 Student Spotlight Lessons offer educators another tool to support students during distance learning, as well as hybrid and in-person instruction. The videos can be directly assigned to students as a model and check throughout their conceptual development.

“Since becoming part of Edgenuity, LearnZillion has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation and to empowering students and educators—and has responded to the need to define best instructional practices even while students are learning from home,” said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity. “These Spotlight Lessons are one example of how LearnZillion is creating resources that support a sense of community, student engagement, and academic rigor, particularly in distance learning environments.”

Edgenuity Pathblazer Awarded Research-Based Design Product Certification by Digital Promise

Edgenuity, a leading provider of online curriculum and instructional services for the K-12 market, today announced that its Pathblazer solution has earned the Research-Based Design product certification from Digital Promise. The certification provides third-party verification to educators and families that an educational technology product is based on credible learning sciences research.

PRWEB | Scottsdale, Arizona | September 16, 2020

Edgenuity, a leading provider of online curriculum and instructional services for the K-12 market, today announced that its Pathblazer solution has earned the

Research-Based Design product certification from Digital Promise. The certification provides third-party verification to educators and families that an educational technology product is based on credible learning sciences research.

“It is essential that students receive the instruction, guidance, and support needed to master foundational skills in the elementary grades, especially to close early learning gaps in math and reading,” said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity. “This certification assures educators and parents that our products are grounded in well-accepted research documented to help accelerate student learning.”

Pathblazer offers teachers in grades K-6 dynamic, skills-based online content that can be used for math and reading intervention and enrichment so they can help every student catch up, keep up, and get ahead. Whether in an individualized learning path or single lesson, Pathblazer provides students with engaging, motivating content that they can access in class or at home, which will make it easier for students to continue learning during transitional periods in the coming months.

The program utilizes data-driven, targeted instruction built around a gradual-release instructional model—which includes supported practice, independent practice, and assessment—to help reinforce grade-level skills among elementary-school students. For students in need of more support, educators can also use Pathblazer to offer targeted, standards-based intervention in math and ELA as needed.

The Research-Based Design product certification uses a competency-based learning framework, developed in consultation with Digital Promise’s Learner Variability Project advisory board, expert researchers in the Learning Sciences field, and dozens of educators across the United States. Further information about the development of the Research-Based Design product certification can be found here.

Edgenuity submitted evidence to Digital Promise demonstrating that instructional design decisions were intentionally grounded in recognized research. Earlier this year, Pathblazer was also found to meet the highest level of efficacy—Tier 1 “strong” evidence—in improving student achievement in reading for grades three to five, as outlined by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which governs the United States K–12 public education policy.

Edgenuity is dedicated to offering innovative, research-based learning solutions aimed at improving student achievement. An extensive body of pedagogical research about how people learn drives every aspect of the Company’s design and development of K–12 learning solutions.
