The e2020 7-part instructional model is designed to teach, apply, practice, and
assess. This model reflects the learning styles research from Bernice McCarthy (4MAT)
and involves a team of master-level teachers, instructional designers, and content-area
experts to develop a standards-based course. Reading, writing and listening skills
are taught and reinforced through our integrated approach.
The session begins with
a vocabulary activity and direct instruction video lecture led by a certified teacher
in that content area. Students progress through the lesson with a series of reinforcement
activities such as journal writing, lab simulations, and on-line content before
being assessed.
- Prescriptive, formative and summative assessments Students receive
randomized test items that are aligned to the lesson's objectives even after customized
content changes are made.
- Individualized study plans Create an optional prescriptive curriculum
that only assigns the content that has not yet been mastered.
- Direct Instruction A highly-qualified teacher in every lesson presents
content in video-lecture segments and visual whiteboard displays.
- On-demand feedback Students receive immediate feedback during activities
and can track progress and performance on their home screen.
- eWriting and eNotes Using the Six Traits of Writing rubric, writing
and note-taking opportunities are integrated into each lesson.
- Show Me Tutorials Students can elect to receive additional support
from a new teacher-tutorial during homework practice.
- Integrated online content Media-rich sites supplement additional
content to apply concepts, engage learners and extend instruction.
