Are you looking for the fastest way to start your students on the Smile and Learn app<\/strong>? The platform\u2019s wealth of content is its greatest strength, but it can be overwhelming at first glance. If you want to avoid the time required to go through thousands of activities to hand-pick ones for your students, Smile and Learn is here to help! The best method to begin your students\u2019 learning immediately upon download is through our learning paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning paths are predesigned packages of activities of the same subject<\/strong>. Students start with the first activity in the path and progress through the path as the difficulty increases, hence the name, \u201cpath.\u201d For example, a learning path for first-grade level reading would include a set of readings on the same subject with increasingly complex vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Teaching Experience<\/a>, our teacher analytics website<\/strong>, teachers can assign and create learning paths. Teachers can even add, remove, and change the order of activities. They can also assign pre-made Smile and Learn learning paths. If there\u2019s a deadline to complete the path, teachers can set it to lock after a certain date. They can even choose to limit students to just their assigned paths during certain times of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each Smile and Learn learning path is sorted by subject and grade level.<\/strong> Students can also choose in which language they would like to complete the path. Teachers can also set the languages the path is available in through Teaching Experience. While in Teaching Experience, watch your students progress through the path in real time. The website will analyze your students\u2019 strengths and weaknesses so you can adjust future paths to best fit their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our pre-made learning paths are also made according to U.S. standards<\/em>. You can enjoy learning paths tailored to the professional standards of Common Core, NGSS, WIDA, Head Start, and coming soon, TEKS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning paths are perfect for teachers or parents looking to use the app and immediately start their student\u2019s learning. Educators can even custom-design their students\u2019 learning and watch them progress in real time <\/strong>through the statistics section of the website. Through this tool, adults have complete control over the app content their child accesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t already downloaded the Smile and Learn app<\/strong>, give it a try! If all the benefits of the learning paths haven\u2019t already convinced you, there\u2019s free science, math, and literature activities for all ages on our blog<\/a>.
