​

Eugene Christian Middle School utilizes the Gradient Learning Platform as part of its proficiency-based instructional model.  This innovative platform develops 21st century cognitive skills through projects and content knowledge (focus areas) for math, science, and humanities (English/history).  Students spend a part of their day in academic courses assigned by proficiency and join their grade level peers for Bible, mentoring, and electives. 

 

Within the Gradient model, students spend the majority of their instructional time under direct instruction and the rest in Personalized Learning Time (PLT) with their instructor.  During PLT, students work with teachers in small groups and receiving tutoring to complete math problems, language skills, composition, and more.

​

As part of the program, your student will be assigned to a mentor teacher who will meet with your student on a weekly basis to review progress and goals set for the week.

 

All official grades will be kept in FACTS for Gradient courses, Bible, and electives. To become more familiar, review the Gradient  Learning Platform documents and watch the video below.
