Jill Lewis on 12 Mar 12The Study Island program is specifically designed to help students master the Tennessee Curriculum Standards. Study Island's focus on the required standards enables students to improve their performance in all standard skill areas, which results in increased proficiency and leads to improved test scores for Math, Reading/Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Students can use Study Island from any computer with internet access. This will help students prepare for TCAP (Tennessee's state assessment) as well as for next year's learning. Blue ribbons show mastery in the Subject Areas and Topic Areas assessed on TCAP. As students advance through the objectives, they can use games or test mode to complete tasks and achieve blue ribbons. I have seen this learner centered program really boost student learning in science and social studies, subjects I feel are often left to cram in at the end of the day. It appeals to students at various grade and learning levels. It is repetitive and gives direct instruction for areas of need.
