How much time should students spend in Progress Learning or Liftoff?

Updated by Sharon Valeris

Progress Learning:

Traditionally, we don’t mandate the amount of time Progress Learning should be used, as it is a supplemental program. Instead of a timed goal, we encourage implementing a growth goal. For example, set a goal where each student will earn at least 3 galaxy stars per week or change 3 pink dots to green.

This may take some students more or less time to accomplish while you will see all students making growth towards the end goal of standards mastery.

Ideally, you want your students to have the time to master all of the on-grade level standards, since each child is unique the time needed will vary from student to student.

At a minimum, we suggest students work in the program for about an hour per week.

Liftoff:

Liftoff is an adaptive math and reading intervention supplement that provides practice and instruction in a highly engaging learning environment. Since each child is unique, the number of learning gaps that are identified will be different, resulting in a varied amount of time needed to approach grade level.

The more time students practice within the platform, the more opportunity for growth.

We've designed the program to be flexible, and we believe that teachers can make the best decisions about how much time their students should spend on supplemental programs in their classrooms.
