SEE IT IN ACTION FOR YOURSELF! Pedagogically Sound. Improved Student Achievement. Ignite! Learning is committed to creating curriculum that is rooted in current research on the best practices for middle-school instruction. The Research Base of Ignite! Learning Products In the Ignite! Learning Research Basis, Dr. Rob Foshay details how the design of the Ignite! curriculum employs research-based best practices and brain-based learning theory. The Ignite! Learning Method of Instructional Design Ignite! Learning has designed its curriculum to achieve the following principles: • Accommodate diverse learning styles • Challenge students to learn by doing • Help students learn in context by unifying big-picture ideas • Help students recognize relevance of material to their daily lives • Challenge students to demonstrate learning in a variety of ways • Foster a passion for knowledge and increase student confidence through motivation and engagement Effects of Ignite! Curriculum at Title I Campuses This study was conducted at a large urban school district that has a high concentration of Title I campuses with students from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. 2007 and 2008 test scores of the Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition (SAT-10), were analyzed for campuses using the Ignite! curriculum as well those not using the Ignite! curriculum. The results show that 47% of campuses using Ignite! Science increased their test scores, and 55% of campuses using Ignite! Social Studies increased their test scores. Schools with increased scores saw gains of 1.9 to 2.2 points from 2007 to 2008. Research shows that an average gain of 1 or 2 points in one year is an educationally significant finding. Additionally, statistically significant increases in test scores were found at 6th & 8th grade science and at 8th grade in social studies as demonstrated by the independent t-tests. Effects of Multimedia Software on Achievement of Middle School Students in an American History Class A study published in the peer-reviewed Winter 2008-2009 Journal of Research on Technology in Education, an ISTE publication, shows students who used Ignite!'s multimedia curriculum increased achievement by twice as much as those who did not. Large Urban West Independent School District Research Project - Evaluation Report 2004-2005 During the 2004-2005 school year, this School District partnered with Ignite! Learning to examine the effectiveness of social studies learning as a result of student utilization of the Ignite! Early American History software program to augment textbook and lecture materials for seventh grade middle school history students. Brahler Study of Texas Education Agency Social Studies Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills Data Dr. C. Jayne Brahler partnered with Ignite!
