In today's world of differentiated classrooms, teachers strive to deliver the best possible instruction to every student while being acutely aware of the differences in outlook, circumstances, experience and skill in every child.
CARS & STARS Online is built on the core idea of offering every student instruction personalised to their needs. With CARS & STARS Online one teacher can administer a class in which every student might be at an instructionally different level.
Because the reading comprehension strategies that CARS & STARS Online are built upon recur at every level of the program, the administering teacher can shift focus for different students and groups while essentially remaining committed to the same goals, meaning teaching the program is consistent regardless of level or class. What’s more, explicit instruction, Suggested Pacing Charts and detailed teacher resources in the STARS module make teaching the content to multiple levels just as easy and clearly directed as teaching it to just one.
Because no student learns the same way or at the same pace, differentiation informs the whole program – making it one built on differentiation as its central concept, rather than something added later to complement existing, more rigid instruction. Instant access to results as answers are entered by the student allows the teacher to utilise up-to-the-second information to guide instruction and decide where they will take students next – all along a carefully guided and scripted continuum of exercises and strategies.
A teacher using CARS & STARS Online for their class – or group of classes – can stay on top of individual student progress while providing instruction that caters to the individual needs of every student with a program that sees differentiation as a core feature, rather than as an extra.
