System Components
The Learning Bridges® System consists of:
  1. The Aligned Instructional Database is aligned to State Standards in Language Arts and Math for grades K-12.
    1. A Teacher Practices Guide provides 24/7 access to the instructional strategies that make the most difference in learning for each standard – in rank order of their power to impact learning.
    2. The Synthesis System allows educators to determine the most effective instructional interventions for the standards identified as low performing based on benchmark or state assessments to link assessment results, student performance goals, instructional strategies, and targeted professional development.
  2. The Strategy Assessment System and Reports determine the proficiency of teachers on the research-based strategies aligned to State Standards.
  3. The NEW Teacher Basics Assessment System and Reports measure the proficiency of teachers on the basics of teaching to support teacher induction, retention, and Alternative Certification Programs.
  4. The Implementation Training and Coaching assures a systemic approach to improving achievement through instruction. The resulting Professional Learning Communities (both ONLINE and ONSITE) will support the improvement of achievement through instructional practice with a system-wide support network.
  5. The Administrative Reports provides aggregated information to monitor the implementation of the Learning Bridges System.
  6. The Professional Development System allows educators to learn the instructional strategies that impact academic achievement and the basics of instructional practice. Courses are instructor led, performance-based, aligned to State Standards, meet ALL National Staff Development Standards, and ALL NSDC/NICI E-Learning Standards to deliver a high-quality learning experience for teachers.
  7. The Program Evaluation, co-developed by McREL (Mid-continent Research on Education and Learning), examines the depth of application IN THE CLASSROOM.
  8. The Parent Activities Report, provides activities for K – 8 parents that will assist their child’s performance in the classroom.
