Fuel Education Delivers Online Courses for the Future with New Summit Curriculum
Engaging, adaptive content and thorough assessment features available
in mobile-compatible format for fall 2017
HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–To further empower schools and districts as they continue to implement
innovative online and blended learning programs, Fuel
Education® (FuelEd®) has launched the FuelEd
Summit™ Curriculum, newly reimagined, standards-aligned online courses
designed for students in grades K–12, including English Language
Learners (ELLs). Starting this fall, educators and students can use
these courses, which feature modern, interactive content, adaptive
technology for differentiated instruction, and powerful tools and
analytics—all available in a mobile and accessible learning environment.
The FuelEd Summit Curriculum includes rich multi-media and interactive
audio and visual assets designed in a vibrant style that captivates and
engages students and helps them retain what they are learning. In
addition, the curriculum adapts to each student’s strengths and
weaknesses, delivering individualized instruction paths that provide the
support students need, when they need it. Based on an effective,
customizable instructional model, the curriculum enables students to
progress through five key steps—Get Ready, Learn, Practice, Review, and
Assess—that are consistent across every lesson, in every subject area.
Teachers can assign activities for ELLs to help them understand key
concepts, and they can assign extra enrichment activities for students
who want to learn more or desire additional challenges. If students do
not demonstrate mastery of the content in the assessments, the content’s
level of difficulty decreases and students are automatically assigned
additional instructional support that teachers can adjust at any time.
“Our new curriculum reflects best practices and lessons learned from
years of experience developing online curriculum and working with
thousands of administrators, teachers, and students from a wide range of
schools and districts,” said Gregg Levin, Fuel Education’s General
Manager. “Fuel Education is very excited to provide our partners with a
robust, new curriculum that will help position them for success as they
continue to usher in online and blended learning programs in their
schools.”
FuelEd Summit Curriculum’s advanced analytic tools include visual
dashboards to make it easy for teachers to see how the class is
performing as a whole or how individual students are progressing through
the courses. In addition, the curriculum works on desktops, laptops, and
tablets. It is also compatible with assistive technologies such as
screen readers, and includes multimedia accessibility features such as
closed captioning and transcripts. This makes it possible to serve
visually and hearing impaired students, as well as provide additional
support for ELLs and remedial readers.
The curriculum will be released in phases, beginning with Math 6–8,
Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, English Language Arts 6–8, and English
9–11 available this fall. The curriculum also includes honors versions
for all high school courses.
FuelEd Summit Curriculum can be purchased in its entirety or course by
course, and can be added to a district’s implementation of any FuelEd
online instructional offerings. To watch a video and learn more, visit fueleducation.com/summit-curriculum.
