The Results at a Glance
Algebra I Benchmark Comparison Percentage of Students Scoring at Performance Bandwidths
In an effort to reach all student levels, teachers implemented a learning model featuring Revolution K12’s Algebra software. Students were separated by performance level into groups, rotating through three stations: • Explicit Direct Instruction: while the teacher demonstrated problems, students took notes and worked on practice questions in their math journals. • Small Group Activity: students participated in a targeted group activity with peer tutors supporting their classmates. • Computer Station: students worked on Revolution K12’s Algebra program for 30 minutes a day. Teachers used the reporting features to review student performance, enabling them to provide differentiated instruction.
The Results Performance increased across all bands over the 10-week implementation period: • Algebra proficiency grew 150% from the first benchmark. • There was a combined improvement of 39% in the Advanced, Proficient, and Basic bands. • Even students who struggled showed dramatic improvement as 80% fewer students scored Far Below Basic.
The Student Perspective
“The targeted support in the program made it feel like the class was personalized just for me. With the Revolution K12 program, it felt like my teacher was right there on my laptop.” Alexandra M., CRAHS #11
