CLASSWORKS





I had the pleasure of being the Classworks Champion at my former school and must say I am a fan Classworks! Here's why....




The 411 on Classworks!  


Why you should get excited about or advocate for your district to get Classworks?

Reasons to be WILD about Classworks:
* Differentiated Instruction
* Allows student to monitor progress (Students have responsibility/ownership)
* Provides instruction for all learners (audio, visual, & kinesthetic)
* Animated Instruction & Game Activities
* Creates Individual Learning Plans for students with academic deficiencies and automatically generates assignments
* Generates reports of students' progress and emails them to teachers
* Gives ideas for Lesson Plans
* Can be a great center activity
* Units are centered around COMMON CORE

Classworks Overview 

Once students log in content will be as followed:
~Mini Lesson: Introduce specific concepts and provide skills instruction
~Instructional Lesson: Students learn subjects and perspectives that support each leaning style
~Quiz: A 10 question quiz that determines each student’s achievement with the specific skill.
~Review Activities: If student does not achieve 70% or higher on quiz “Classworks” generates activities to approach the objective from a new perspective.
~Projects: Provides opportunity for students to use real world activities to demonstrate MASTERY
FYI: Some units do not have Mini Lessons or Quizzes; they only have Practice Activities
