1. Assessment. Kid’s College provides a state-aligned assessment, automatically “grades” the assessment, modifies the curriculum based on the results, and then presents a new assessment at the target level for the student.
2. Data Reports. Kid’s College Executive Reports take the guesswork out of diagnosing skills gaps for each student.
3. Scaffolding. Kid’s College automatically scaffolds the curriculum to support students. Teachers no longer need to spend extra time locating below-grade-level material for struggling students.
4. Planning. Kid’s College reports save hours of time that would be spent planning an individualized curriculum for each student, or for small and large groups.
5. Time on Task. Kid’s College ensures every minute in the computer lab is spent making gains for the student.

Every year, a group of diverse students enters the classroom with varying foundational skills, readiness and learning preferences. They will be expected to master a standardized set of skills by the end of the year, but they learn at different paces, and many need to bridge the skills gaps they carry from previous grade levels.

Differentiated Instruction is a teaching model that requires teachers to be flexible in their approach and adjust curriculum according to the individual needs of diverse students, rather than expecting students to modify themselves for the curriculum.

Kid’s College has simplified and automated the process of Differentiating Instruction for teachers.

Kid’s College virtual Math & Reading curriculum is enhanced by one-of-a-kind STRIDE™ Adaptive Technology, which automatically differentiates instruction for each individual student while they are working in the Kid’s College program.

Kid’s College Adaptive Technology meets each student where he or she is, deciphers their learning profile
by diagnosing strengths and skills gaps, and then presents the student with practice curriculum that is appropriate and relevant to their particular level of ability.

As a student continues to practice skill sets in Kid’s College, the Adaptive Technology uses a complex algorithm to automatically prompt curriculum to scaffold up or down to accelerate or remediate the student accordingly. Along the way, Kid’s College tracks each student’s progression or regression, generating a valuable suite of data reports that are automatically emailed to teachers and customized instructional workbooks which can be downloaded and printed for extra skills practice.
