Green Dot Challenge

The Green Dot Challenge is a fun and effective way to personalize learning in the Progress Learning platform. Students can navigate to any of their practice pages and work independently. Set specific parameters for how many (or in which) standards a student should earn green dots over a certain amount of time. Look at each individual student’s progress report to set learning targets. You can see the average scores and question counts (correct/total attempted in parentheses) for each standard. See how the Green Dot Challenge can empower all of your students, no matter their level.

Alien Ranking Card Bulletin Boards

 

Celebrate student achievement by creating a Progress Learning Bulletin Board with Alien Rankings and/or Galaxy Stars! This will motivate students as they earn Galaxy Stars and increase their ranking in the Elementary platform (K-5th) or Liftoff (2nd-8th). You can create an inspirational board that shows current goals, an interactive board that lets students move their star or spaceship on the wall as they progress, or a competitive board that tracks the data you are focusing on as a team.
