Rocketship Education (Redwood City, CA; 6,000 students)
- Lauded Model: Over the past six years, the San Jose, CA-based charter school network has developed a replicable blended learning model. Students spend 75% of their time in traditional classes, where one teacher instructs 27 students. They then rotate into a learning lab, where they spend the rest of their time on adaptive educational software to sharpen their skills. Tools used in the lab include ST Math, Dreambox, EdElements, Typing Club, Lexia, MyON and iReady.
- Data and Assessment: Over the past year, Rocketship has implemented a digital assessment and data system across the network. They use a combination of Illuminate to deliver assessments and Schoolzilla to visualize and merge all the data. Teachers now administer weekly formative assessments and use data to inform their instruction.
