Student engagement in the classroom has seen a steep decline in recent years, and it’s not hard to see why. From normal classroom distractions to increased cell phone usage to rapid shifts to virtual learning, every distraction is a chance for students to lose focus.
Evidence shows that increasing student engagement leads to measurable boosts in long-term and short-term retention. So how do you cut through the distractions and engage students? Progress Learning provides teachers with a supplemental curriculum and review platform that rewards students for participating, increasing their satisfaction and engagement.
Elementary students earn rewards right after answering a question correctly on the first try, keeping them excited for every question. This gameplay also doubles as targeted remediation — an incorrect answer comes with an explanation to get the next one right.
Secondary students can access the arcade, where a token-based system increases motivation and tailors learning to each grade level. They receive more tokens the better their results are, pushing them to keep improving in every assignment.
Progress Learning offers a wide variety of games that are built directly into the platform, making it simple for students to access, easy for teachers to manage usage, and ensures that they are an incentive to meet learning goals instead of a classroom distraction.
