One key to a successful Exact
Path implementation over the summer months is
making sure that your students have
individualized learning paths that are up to date.
Due to the self - paced,
individualized approach inherent in eLearning, this type of
learning is a match
made in heaven for go - getters, employees who take personal responsibility for their career
paths.
The TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement is implemented in school districts across the country, affecting approximately 15,000 teachers and 200,000 students.46 With support from the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching, school districts create multiple career
paths for teachers, including career, mentor, and master teacher.47 Teacher leaders participate in school leadership teams with administrators, provide colleagues with regular professional
learning opportunities and
individualized coaching, observe and provide feedback for instructional improvement, and are compensated for these additional responsibilities.48 Trained teacher leaders in schools using the TAP System have demonstrated an ability to evaluate classroom instruction with accuracy and consistency, and their observations are closely aligned to student
learning gains in classrooms.49 According to Lori Johnson, a participating TAP master teacher in Phoenix, «It was the best decision I ever
made professionally.
I think we can all agree that programs that personalize
learning through computer adaptive tests and
individualized learning paths are
making it a lot easier to meet students where they are.
