Each student begins the day by checking out a Chromebook. Students complete digital math and literacy software at their own pace. Both students and teachers monitor progress via ExitTicket software. Students spend 60 minutes a day on math and rotate through small groups, personalized small-group coaching with a teacher, and digital learning time. In writing courses, students have control over pace for 70 percent of time.
