1ST WEEK WINNER OF THE ST. LOUIS EXCLUSIVE, BEABLE BLAST INTO CLASS STUDENT LAUNCH CONTEST

Beable is an online platform that allows for individualized learning.  Through the online platform:

• Each student receives lessons at the ‘just-right’ level for her needs.
•  
• Every student in the class reads the same lesson that covers the same core standards, but the lesson is automatically differentiated to match each student’s reading ability. This ensures that the student is acquiring the content knowledge required for the core curriculum and for success on the end-of-course assessments while also building literacy proficiency.
•  
• The lessons include a set of learning activities designed to assess the student’s comprehension and propel her literacy skills forward. The activities are interactive, aligned to standards and fully tracked and reported to the teacher and school/district leadership team.

Students’ individualized coursework comprises a combination of academic and special interest content. Academic content is usually assigned and required by the classroom teacher. Students select special interest content on their own, based on their individual interests.
