3. How Technology is Transforming Education
Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the Worlds Learns (Christensen, Horn, Johnson; 2008)
Technology will be the “disruptive force” in education by driving change in:
Personalized learning
Student-centered classrooms
Blended learning

4. The Power of Embedded, Real-time Assessment
“Save time and cost of repairing the mistakes.”

5. The “Disruptive” Effect of Real-time Assessment and Personalized Learning
Traditional Assessment
Time (fixed)  Results (variable/unpredictable)
Embedded Assessment
Time (variable)  Results (predictable success)

6. What is Personalized Learning?

7. Personalized Learning
“…ensuring that a student’s path, curriculum, instruction,
and schedule be personalized to meet their unique needs,
inside and outside of school…through a wide range of resources
and strategies appropriate for her learning style, abilities,
and interests…as well as social, emotional and physical situation.”
- Dr. Chris Dede, Harvard University (2014)

8. Blended Learning
“Blended learning is not the same as technology-rich instruction.
It goes beyond one-to-one computers and high-tech gadgets.
Blended learning involves leveraging the Internet to afford each
student a more personalized learning experience, meaning increased
student control over the time, place, path,
and/or pace of his or her learning.”
“The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in
which a student learns: at least in part through online learning,
with some element of student control over time, place, path,
and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar
location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s
learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an
integrated learning experience.”
(2014)

9. The Challenge
We want to personalize, but in a group setting.

10. Literature Review: Pitfalls & Obstacles
Inadequate technology
Technology not adaptive (branching)
Data for decision-making (time)
Data for decision-making (actionable)
Technology designed as a closed system
Technology-delivered and teacher-delivered
learning not integrated (no clear next steps for T)

11. Personalized Learning: Six Attributes of Enabling Contexts
Technology (devices, infrastructure, access)
Note: 1:1 ratio does not ensure personalized learning
Lexia Reading Core5 provides a personalized, differentiated approach…. through a system of student-driven learning online, and targeted instruction by a teacher or paraprofessional.
The key to this approach is a simple, real-time report on student performance. It serves as a data-driven action plan that
tells the teacher which students need instruction,
pinpoints the exact skill they need to teach,
provides a lesson addressing that skill,
and indicates the precise amount of time each student needs to spend on the computer.
With this approach, teachers spend their time focused only where it’s needed, never where it isn’t.

richer and more accurate
actionable
linked to curriculum

21. Model of Data-driven, Personalized Learning

22. Lexia Reading Core5
Expanded coverage for PreK-5 students of all abilities
(Tier 1,2, 3, Special Ed and ELL)
Created to meet and exceed the Common Core State Standards
Adaptive levels of instructional intensity
Three levels of scaffolding
Intensive/explicit instruction (computer and teacher-directed)

23. Scope & Sequence
The Lexia Reading Core5 scope and sequence covers skills identified as essential for reading development across the grade range from preK to 5th grade.

24. Gradual Release of Responsibility model
“You do”
Student-driven
“We do”
Teacher and student
Student Independence / Mastery
“I do”
Teacher-led
Let’s take a look at the instructional model in most programs, as compared to Lexia Reading Core5.
Many of you are familiar with the “gradual release of responsibility” model ( known as “I do, we do, you do”).
In this commonly used approach…. the teacher begins by modeling the task or skill. This is known as the “I do” step.
Next, the student performs the skill with scaffolding by the teacher. This is the “we do” step.
Finally, when the student has developed mastery of the skill, he or she is ready to demonstrate the skill independently in the “You do” step.

27. Lexia Data System for Maximizing the Impact of Lexia’s Assesment Without Testing Making data simple and actionable

28. Assessment Without Testing®
Real-time, norm-referenced performance data
Ongoing progress monitoring without a test event:
Predict future performance and Prescribe
Instructional Intensity
Monitoring of performance toward meeting Common Core State Standards
Saves teachers up to a month of instruction time across the year
Assessment data is highly predictive of outcomes
on commonly used assessments such as:
DIBELS® – MAPS®
AIMSweb® – GRADE®
As students are working in the program, Lexia gathers real-time, norm-referenced and criterion-referenced performance data that informs the student-driven and teacher-led instruction in the program - and it is all done without stopping your instruction time to administer a test.
This data helps you to:
Predict future performance and prescribe instructional intensity
Track performance on the Common Core State Standards
And it saves teachers up to a month of instructional time.
Lexia’s data are highly predictive of outcomes on commonly used assessments such as DIBELS, AIMSweb, MAPS and GRADE. Lexia’s data is used here because we do not yet have correlations with these assessments and Core5, but based on our correlations with Lexia Reading, we feel the data will correlate with these measures.
And it is available on the ipad and iphone.

29. Goal of Assessment
“The goal is to gain enough information about student progress to make effective decisions while minimizing the time spent administering assessments.” Torgesen, 2006
This quote by Dr. Joe Torgesen drives us to provide valuable data to planning instruction without taking your instructional time.
