Do I have to pay to use ClassHero for Math in my classroom?
No! ClassHero has been purchased by APS for all it's k-8 teachers. You can start using it today!
Is ClassHero a new math curriculum?
No. ClassHero is not a new curriculum, nor is it intended to be used as one. ClassHero imports your district's core curriculum (Stepping Stones) and generates digital packets for your students that are differentiated, automatically graded and bilingual. As a teacher, that means you can continue to teach lessons directly from your core curriculum and assign corresponding skills-practice in ClassHero.
Is ClassHero an intervention tool?
ClassHero can be used for intervention, and is perfect tool to use with small groups and individuals. However, ClassHero is primarily a Tier I tool, and is designed to allow you to assign your curriculum to your entire class. The built in differentiation and personalization allows teachers to assign what their teaching in class and be assured that each student will receive skill-practice that is appropriate for their skill level.
Is ClassHero a supplemental math tool?
No. ClassHero is intended to be used as a replacement for paper packets and worksheets, and designed to allow APS teachers to assign their core curriculum, Stepping Stones, as digital math practice that's:
Instantly differentiated for every student
Automatically graded in real-time
Bilingual for immersion & ELL in 30+ languages
How does ClassHero replace worksheets and packets?
Assigning ClassHero for skills-practice is a great alternative to paper-based practice such as worksheets and packets. Unlike paper-practice, ClassHero automatically adds differentiation, grade automatically, makes curriculum bilingual and gives teachers a powerful live-monitoring tool.
Since ClassHero isn't meant to be used as a supplemental tool, you can simply assign what you're teaching in class in ClassHero's teacher dashboard. ClassHero can also be used to assign skills from any grade level to individuals or small groups that are above or below grade level.
I'm a Teacher Librarian/Media Specialist, why are teachers asking me for ClassHero badges?
If your school or district has purchased ClassHero for Math, boxes of your school's printed HeroBadges should have been delivered to the Teacher Librarian or Media Specialist. Teacher's have been prompted to pick up their box of HeroBadges from you.
If you haven't received your school's HeroBadges please contact us at support@classhero.com and include your district and school name.
