The 95 Percent Group is an educational organization that specializes in providing solutions to improve literacy skills, particularly in the area of reading. Their name is derived from the educational principle that about 95% of students can achieve reading success if they receive effective instruction and intervention.

Their literacy program focuses on addressing the needs of struggling readers, including those with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. The program is designed to provide targeted instruction and intervention to help students develop essential reading skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

The 95 Percent Group offers a range of resources and services to support educators in implementing effective literacy instruction. These resources include professional development workshops, instructional materials, assessments, and ongoing support for teachers.

Their approach is research-based and data-driven, emphasizing the use of evidence-based practices to support student learning and achievement in reading. By targeting instruction to the specific needs of each student, the 95 Percent Group aims to improve literacy outcomes for all learners.

In the integrated version of IQWST, each of the 12 modules integrates at least two disciplines: Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, Earth Science, and/or Engineering Design. At IQWST’s foundation is the latest research on how students learn and how they learn science in particular, the very research on which the Framework for K–12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards are also based. At its core, IQWST engages students in scientific practices as they experience, investigate, model, and explain phenomena while learning core ideas and engaging in concepts that cross disciplinary boundaries. Students build understanding by connecting ideas from lesson to lesson, from module to module, and across the middle grades. 

Our ELA, Social Studies, and Science Prime Plans empower educators to inspire deeper learning and engagement for every student.

“Why do I need to know this? When am I ever going to use this in the real world?” 

These are questions every student has when engaging with new math curriculum and concepts. Amplify Math infuses math instruction with history and storytelling. This allows them to make connections through story telling and a way for them to connect math to themselves and the world around them. The more relevance they can observe in the math they are learning, the deeper the integration of those concepts and lessons. Historical and current narratives help drive this home.

Amplify Math’ provides real-time insights, data, and reporting that drive performance for all learners by allowing you to support every student in the class room, whether they are behind in a lesson or a few years below the class math level. You will be able to see where your students are, what they think, what they might not get yet, and what needs to happen next, giving every student a chance to be successful in math. 

Reflecting state-of-the-art practices in science teaching and learning, Amplify Science was developed by the science education experts at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and the digital learning team at Amplify. It is the Hall’s first curriculum designed to address the new science standards. Their research-based approach provides students with multiple modalities to explore the NGSS curriculum.

In every unit students engage in a relevant, real-world problem. Scientific phenomena are investigated as they  engage in collaboration and discussion. Developing models or explanations allow them to arrive at solutions.

Hands-on activities, print materials, and powerful digital tools support online and offline teaching and learning to support blended instruction. Highly adaptable and user-friendly, provide schools and teachers flexibility based on their technology resources and preferences.

A science program that educators can use to bring the NGSS and three-dimensional science learning to life. Students engage with science and engineering practices, figure out disciplinary core ideas, and utilize and apply crosscutting concepts in multiple modalities across thoughtful, structured lessons, all centered around engaging anchor phenomena.

Audacity is an audio recording and editing software application that is open-source so that anyone can download it for free with no restrictions of use. This software can: record live audio, cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together, and edit various audio files (Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, or AIFF to name a few). This application can be integrated across disciplines and is relatively easy to use. Audacity can foster active student participation and deeper learning through content creation (e.g., podcasts) and allow students to showcase their understanding through multimedia rather than tests or papers.
