A Proven Foundation

ALL In Learning is built on a mountain of research that has led to documented, significant gains.

In study after study, key principles emerge:

• Make a habit of frequent data collection and immediate feedback.  A top “turnaround school” success strategy, it lets teachers see misconceptions so they can reteach or remediate in the moment, and it engages students and gives them ownership of their learning.
• PLCs / Data Teams should collaborate broadly based on timely hard data. Regular data-driven collaboration helps teachers plan effectively, meet the needs of different learning groups, share their most effective techniques and materials, and work more efficiently, reducing stress.

Bringing It to the Classroom

ALL In Learning makes it easy for teachers to apply the research-driven strategies every day.

• Clickers are a proven tool for checks for understanding, are very easy for teachers to use, engage every student in seconds, and our approach can be done with no extra work or grading.
• With doc cams or their phones, they can scan bubble sheets in the blink of an eye, saving hours and giving immediate feedback to students.
• 1-to-1 mobile-device or computer-based solution gives immediate feedback and reporting.
• Colorful, immediate, collated reports for teachers and teams.
• Teams can share materials and use mastery/strategy/remediation plan features.
