At Carnegie Learning we believe all students are capable learners, and we understand that students enter class with varying degrees of experience and mathematical success. In order for students to be both challenged and successful, every day teachers use evidence of student readiness. Teachers recognize students’ strengths while ensuring that everyone has access to mathematical learning opportunities through a variety of access points. Below you will find ways your Carnegie Learning textbook and Clear Learning Center resources support individual student needs.
In the Front Matter of your textbook you will find pages titled “Supporting for All Students.” Within these pages, you will find how your textbook provides:
Strategies to support language development
Strategies to specifically teach academic language and to use cuing
Strategies to support productive skills
Opportunities to synthesize and display information and relationships
Strategies to support student interactions
Strategies for grouping students
Strategies to support social emotional learning
Strategies supporting
Self-awareness
Self-management
Social awareness
Relationship skills
Responsible decision-making
Throughout your Teacher’s Implementation Guide, strategies to support students at every level of learning are called out in the margin of every lesson and expanded upon in the Additional Facilitation notes that follow each lesson.
In addition to the resources in your textbook, Clear Learning Center offers Interactive Exit Tickets for each lesson. are auto-evaluated, technology-enhanced checkpoints of understanding available at the end of each lesson session to give teachers immediate feedback concerning their students’ understanding and progress. A session represents approximately 45 minutes of instruction. Exit ticket data from students provides teachers with insights for informed instructional decisions.
MATHia works alongside MATHbook to ensure students have time to develop the concepts and skills of the course. The work students do in MATHia continuously supports their work in MATHbook, even when their software pace is ahead of or behind the aligned lessons.
MATHia is self-paced and teachers can support student learning by:
Locating and assigning workspaces in Clear Learning Center aligned to the current topic or lesson.
MATHia workspaces provide located inside the lesson in Clear Learning Center are aligned to that specific lesson. These workspaces support mastery of lesson skills and concepts.
MATHia workspaces located in the Intervention Resources provide support with pre-requisite skills and re-engagement with concepts associated with the topic These workspaces support students who need additional practice or instruction with skills and concepts necessary to mastery skills and concepts in the currnet topic.
Helping students establish a workspace completion goal within the unit
Encouraging self-motivation rather than compliance
Promoting student responsibility for self-monitoring their learning
Reminding students to assess their progress using the Progress Meter
Empowering students to use the self-help tools as needed to take ownership of their learning
Reminding students that mistakes are learning opportunities
Cultivating an environment where asking for help is a regular practice
Encouraging students to think about how each workspace connects to what they are learning in MATHbook
MATHstream lessons adapt to students in real time, motivating them to test new skills and outperform themselves, while teachers can easily track student progress. When students need additional time with the concepts in a less, assign the MATHstream Videos aligned to your MATHbook lesson to provide repeat instruction for students.
Topic Readiness Resources are MATHia workspaces and MATHstream Interactive Videos aligned to pre-requisite standards necessary for topic mastery. Topic Re-Engagement Resources are MATHstream Interactive Videos associated with the topic and are used to re-engage students with a concept or accelerate student learning. .
