Laurus for Charter Schools
Laurus, which is Latin for "success", is designed to be implemented in a school or district-wide. When a school or district purchases an annual subscription to Laurus, every student in the school is able to have 24/7 access to the self-paced, online program, anywhere an internet connection is available, whether at school or at home. Laurus has five unique features that help students master the Arizona high school math standards: video tutorials, printable notes, review questions, quizzes, and test-taking strategies. Laurus is designed to supplement what teachers are able to provide their students in the classroom, helping students master the Arizona high school math standards, and preparing them for the math portion of the Arizona AIMS test.
Teachers and administrators have 24/7 access to real-time data that tracks the students' successful progression through the Arizona math standards. In addition, teachers have access to features to help supplement their teaching, such as printable quizzes, which they can use in the classroom if desired.
Laurus is an effective way to integrate technology into the classroom. Many charter schools look for resources that set them apart and that let their students and parents know they are providing the best resources available to help their students experience success. Laurus is an excellent tool to help students use technology to learn and master high school math content.
