General Education TeacherIntervention Summary
I CAN Learn is a full-curriculum mathematics software program that provides math instruction through a series of computer-based interactive lessons for middle school, high school, and college classrooms. I CAN Learn courses include Fundamentals of Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry, and each course contains 20 to 180 self-paced, mastery-based lessons that include multimedia content, such as instructional videos and animation. Students work individually at their own computers, starting with a placement test to assess their current level of knowledge and customize their lesson plan. Each lesson includes a warm-up activity, lesson presentation, guided practice, and a quiz to ensure mastery of the lesson content, and a virtual teacher presents the lessons and demonstrates how to solve problems. Classroom teachers may provide individual, small-group, or whole-class instruction based on students' performance on the software program, and printed textbooks are available to supplement the electronic courseware. Additionally, the I CAN Learn Classroom Explorer Class Management System enables teachers to conduct classroom administration tasks, track students' attendance, homework, and test grades, and create an individualized learning path for each student.
