Trailblazer uses a short cycle innovation approach to address challenges and test improvements.

Trailblazer starts with a station rotation model in the beginning of the year, shifting to individual rotations as students and teachers develop learner pathways.

Students self-select and move between learning spaces based on their learning preferences and needs.

Trailblazer gives teachers autonomy in selecting learning software based on short cycle pilots.

The 1 to X ratio allows for purposeful allocation of devices based on learner needs and activities.

Teachers collaborate across multiple grade levels to support learners whose needs often span beyond grade level skills.

Special education teachers push into general education classrooms, pulling various small groups to lead data-based interventions.

Roots uses Meraki to centrally provision iPads.

Teachers use the Infinity Learning Maps process with students to draw a map of a current learning situation that is challenging them. They include interactions between themselves, the people, tools, and places that support them in their learning. Students analyze their maps to set goals, show how they learn, and identify ways to improve with support from their teachers and parents.

MasteryTrack helps bring blended learning to life by creating intuitive mastery-based dashboards that students, teachers, principals, and parents can use. The unique architecture of the system enables it to be implemented very quickly and expanded rapidly across multiple courses.
