My Project

A subscription to renew our expired IXL license will help give my students access to a comprehensive PK-12 online learning platform with targeted practice and learning resources to meet every student where they are. IXL provides each student with a customized pathway for growth. As students learn, IXL uses insights from their work to generate personalized skill recommendations in real time. Each recommendation is precise and unique, guiding learners to the specific skills that will help them make the most progress right now.

IXL’s platform automatically differentiates learning.

Each skill is deeply adaptive and adjusts to each student with every question, ensuring they are always supported and challenged at the right level. Teachers can view as students practice in real time and can help in the moment that mistakes occur making teaching more responsive to needs as they occur. This feedback is used right away and allows for adaptive practice with flexible instruction.

In previous years of having this subscription, IXL has built confidence, motivation and stamina. The kids love seeing and tracking their own progress and being able to choose their own skills. We love the Leaderboard for friendly competition and the Group Jam for introducing new skills in real time. We also use the diagnostic and quiz feature for data tracking and progress monitoring.

IXL is like having the chance of getting a personal tutor for each student. Students learn more and at their own personal pace. Please consider supporting our project. Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated and will help us reach our goal of receiving this truly integral learning tool for our classroom.
