Fraction Face-Off!
Teach to One: Math (TtO) is a blended learning intervention that targets middle school mathematics. TtO redesigns classroom instruction to match students with the specific content that best supports their academic growth. The program uses a 'skills map' to outline the skills students must master and their dependencies, and each student's individual learning profile is generated from a baseline assessment and updated frequently based on student performance. Students are physically reorganized into one large room containing multiple teachers and students from different classes simultaneously, and they meet in their Math advisory (Ma) sections to take a short, multiple-choice 'exit ticket' to determine their mastery of that day's content.
The intervention, referred to as Super Solvers (3rd grade-revised), is a 13-week program that targets at-risk third-grade students' understanding of fractions, specifically fraction magnitude. The program includes three 35-min sessions per week, delivered to pairs of students. It focuses on fraction magnitude, comparing, ordering, and placing fractions on number lines, and word problems to contextualize fractions as numbers in everyday contexts. The program uses explicit, structured cognitive strategy instruction, with tutors introducing new topics with worked examples, modeling efficient solution strategies, and providing corrective feedback for incorrect responses. The program also incorporates a motivational system focused on on-task behavior and includes activities such as Fraction Flash, Problem Quest, and Power Practice to build flexibility and speed with fraction magnitude component skills.
Oregon Promise is a financial aid program that targets high school students who plan to attend an Oregon community college by covering up to 90 attempted community college credits. The program is open to individuals with a high school diploma or GED test credential, including Oregon students who complete high school in public school, private school, home school, a correctional facility, or a foster care placement outside of the state. To be eligible for an Oregon Promise award, high school students must have resided in Oregon for at least 12 months prior to college enrollment, earned a high school unweighted cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher, completed high school, and earned or attempted no more than 90 college credits through dual-credit programs in high school.
IBM Journey Program
The program developed by the Center for Advanced Technology in Schools (CATS) includes eight math video games, four of which cover fractions concepts and four of which cover solving equations concepts. The program is intended to target students' knowledge of pre-algebra topics, specifically rational numbers and fractions.
Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP)
We Have Skills! (WHS) is a supplemental, video-based social skills program for early elementary students that targets the development of social skills, including guidance on how to listen, ask for help, follow directions, do the best you can, follow the rules, work out strong feelings, and get along. WHS consists of three components: instructional materials (including lesson plans, instructional videos, and supplemental activities), teacher professional development, and student assessment. Lessons include two main segments: a 5-to 10-minute discussion using questions from the lesson plan, and a 5-minute video lesson. Instruction is delivered over eight weekly sessions, and teachers are encouraged to implement activities such as guided practice through songs, role play, and learning materials. The program incorporates a reinforcement system where students receive skill tickets, student-managed tally sheets, parent notes of skill achievement, and student certificates of mastery.
Achieve3000 is a program that provides differentiated online instruction to improve students' reading and writing skills, as it is designed based on the idea that high levels of reading and writing skills play a crucial role in students' academic success, college readiness, and preparation for the job market. The program teaches all students at their individual reading levels, while continually challenging them to achieve the next level of success.
Corrective Reading is a program intended to target alphabetics, fluency, comprehension, and general reading achievement in students.
