Adjusting the presentation of content to find the optimal sequence of instruction based on student response
Guiding learning by employing a variety of instructional strategies when a student has difficulty and providing multiple opportunities to master each concept
Periodically activating retention checks during the learning process to ensure retention of previously presented skills
Emphasizing specific content areas where students need to focus.
Reporting powerful data to identify student areas of difficulty and help teachers effectively target instruction.
