Zeal offers tons of math Common Core State Standards-aligned questions. Using the dashboard, teachers create class goals by selecting standards. Then sets of questions are generated based on the selected standards. As students answer questions, a live coach is on standby for each student, to monitor activity and step in as needed. Coaches instant-message throughout the session to encourage kids and keep them on task. If a student struggles with a standard, the program adapts to find learning gaps. Once this baseline is determined, a coach steps in to help the student with the area of struggle.

The teacher dashboard updates with students' reports as they complete questions, and coaches can leave notes about the session. The dashboard also includes information about each student's coaching session, usage, growth (shown as a bar chart), weekly activity, pre-skills, and more.

ELA.L.11-12.4b

Common core State Standards

ELA: English Language Arts

L: Language Standards 6-12

11-12: 11th & 12th Grades

4b:
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and
phrases based on grades 11-12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a
range of strategies.

a. Use context (e.g., the overall meaning of a sentence, paragraph, or text; a
wordâ\x80\x99s position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of a word
or phrase.

b. Identify and correctly use patterns of word changes that indicate different
meanings or parts of speech (e.g., conceive, conception, conceivable).

c. Consult general and specialized reference materials (e.g., dictionaries,
glossaries, thesauruses), both print and digital, to find the pronunciation
of a word or determine or clarify its precise meaning, its part of speech, its
etymology, or its standard usage.

d. Verify the preliminary determination of the meaning of a word or phrase
(e.g., by checking the inferred meaning in context or in a dictionary).

Many schools have been experimenting with instructional rounds as a practice for encouraging teachers' development and collaboration. This practice has proved beneficial; however, it requires the observing teachers to leave their own students behind with a substitute, potentially losing precious instructional time.

Through the Teaching Channel site, teachers can use video as a platform to participate in classroom observations outside of the school day. Subsequent discussions about lessons could happen digitally or while watching the video together in small groups -- perhaps during a planned meeting or collaboration period. On top of this, the site's online Q&A forum lets teachers engage in conversations about relevant issues. This means that teachers from all over the world can connect and grow together.
