Preview Get Ready for Grade Level


2m read
·Nov 10, 2024

Here's an example of a Get Ready for Grade Level course. In this case, it's Get Ready for Sixth Grade, and there are a couple of interesting things here. First of all, you can see that the course is broken down into units, like all of our courses are broken down. These units are designed to match fairly closely to the units in sixth grade.

So, it can be used in two different ways. The Get Ready for Sixth Grade course, for example, could be used at the beginning of sixth grade so that students can fill in all of the gaps that they might have up to sixth grade, and then they could work on the sixth grade course. Or, it could be done in parallel. For example, if in the sixth grade course, students are working on the unit on ratios, rates, and percentages, then this unit right over here in the Get Ready for Sixth Grade can be used to make sure that students have all the prerequisites for that sixth grade unit.

Now, what we recommend, because most sixth grade students will already have some of the mastery and will already know many of the skills in the Get Ready for Sixth Grade course, we recommend that they start with the course challenge. By taking a course challenge, students are going to have an opportunity to show what they already know and also identify what their existing gaps are.

If students are doing well on the course challenge, they can keep taking it. They're going to get different exercises, different items every time, and they can accelerate quite quickly through the Get Ready for Grade Level course. But, of course, if they need to fill in gaps, they can then go to those corresponding units.

So, for example, I could go to this unit right over here and do more focused skill-based practice on the things that they haven't mastered yet. Even within a unit, you can also use things like our unit tests, which you can see right over here. Similar to a course challenge, it allows students to accelerate through what they already know, but then also identify the gaps for what they don't already know.

So hopefully all of y'all enjoy using the Get Ready for Grade Level courses. I just use sixth grade as an example. It's a way to ensure that students enter this grade level, enter whatever grade level they are, whatever course they are in, without those Swiss cheese gaps. There's a way for them to fill them in and then continue to proceed at their own time and pace.
