Middle School English Language Arts and Reading We’re Sorry See For Yourself Why Exploros OER is Transformative

Teachers lead the class. Students engage in collaborative learning, applying social media skills during lessons. Watch the video below to see how. Engage Students and Improve Achievement

With Exploros, all students participate in the classroom learning experience. Increased Student Engagement

In some classrooms, there simply isn’t time to allow many students to share thoughts and perspectives, but with Exploros, all students participate and contribute. Teachers quickly get a feel for class understanding and can guide students accordingly. “Exploros is an excellent way of getting our students engaged, which is a priority in our teaching.” Better State Test Scores

In the first case study for OER powered by Exploros, we helped the pilot school achieve a 24% increase in satisfactory scores on the STAAR assessment—and a 77% improvement compared to the average gain of all schools across the state! Read the case study. “I get immediate feedback for each student which helps me correct any misconceptions.” Implement 5E Model Instruction

Finding quality content is one piece of the instructional puzzle, but the approach for how to deliver that content is of equal importance in teaching and learning. Exploros makes it simpler to deliver the best social instructional methods. Not slide shows and ebooks... 5E model lessons with peer interaction, organized into complete courses aligned to learning standards.

Students collaborate, work in small groups, complete social graphic organizers, discuss, write, draw and complete embedded assessments.

With Exploros, your school can more easily implement rich instructional approaches. Save Teacher Preparation Time

With Exploros, teachers don’t need to spend time hunting for resources and curating materials. The curriculum is organized into full courses, with 135 lessons per grade per subject. Simply choose what you want to teach, and assign it to students.

Exploros distributes the resources, documents student work, and automatically reports on learning progress. It’s that easy. The time teachers save can be better used to address individual student and classwide learning needs. “It is truly amazing because everything is included in each lesson. I am able to see and share documents, visuals, and videos with all students. It's a magic box of information.” “It is a one stop shop. Students are exposed to the content, they are constantly asked questions or asked to complete graphic organizers and it has an assessment at the end.” Get a New Level of Classroom Data

There’s something for everyone :) Exploros fulfills a longstanding promise of technology. It gives educators new insights into classroom activity to improve learning outcomes – continually measuring student engagement, progress, and assessment mapped to learning objectives.

Teachers teach, all students engage and learning data is collected automatically.

Students portfolios are automatically constructed. Teachers get a live window into classroom performance, and can adapt lessons to student needs in real time.

All stakeholders can observe progress against learning goals over time, whether districts are using self-published curriculum, Exploros OER curriculum, or an educational publishing partner's curriculum. Stop Paying for Content. Shift Spending to ClassroomAnalytics™.
