Summertime and Study Island
Many schools are looking at how they can use Study Island this summer. There are three popular models that schools and districts have utilized in the past, so I thought this might be of use as you think about how to implement Study Island this summer.
1. Integrating Study Island into the traditional summer school curriculum. If your school or district runs a summer school program, Study Island is a great fit. Quite often, teachers are teaching a subject that may be different from what they normally teach so Study Island can help them with standards they are not used to. The web-based format of Study Island means that students can login all summer to practice the topics that they need help in.
2. Open lab model. Maybe your school is not offering summer school, but there will be adults in the building for part of the summer. Keeping a lab open for drop in sessions is a nice way for parents and students to utilize the program if they do not have the Internet available at home.
3. Home use. Students who have access to the Internet at home can practice Study Island all summer long! Parents can login to see a math and reading report to identify which area their child needs the most assistance. The engaging game format is sure to keep students motivated throughout the summer.
Important features of Study Island for summer use:
Online reporting makes it easy for teachers and administrators to login over the summer to see how students are doing. In September, teachers can run a report to access the results of their students’ summer use. The "Suggest Topics Report" allows teachers to see what areas their class needs the most help in!
Automatic remediation is a terrific feature that encourages student self-direction. Students can work on the building block topics provided by the program in order to get their skills to grade level.
Feel free to contact me if you would like additional information about Study Island.
