ScootPad Overview
Watch how we transform learning by delivering dynamic, ongoing scaffolding to every student.
Why You Should Choose ScootPad
Here's answers to most frequently asked questions that help you choose the right solution.
1
How exactly will ScootPad help Students?
Over 75% of classrooms have students with knowledge gaps
that span across multiple grade levels. Teachers simply
don't have the time, patience and data to fill these
knowledge gaps for each and every student on a daily
basis.
ScootPad meets every student exactly where he/she is
in every concept, ensuring they receive the right level of
practice, instruction, scaffolding and assessment - this
happens in real-time and automatically. ScootPad
auto-detects knowledge gaps in real-time and scaffolds to
prerequisite skills (at or below grade level) when
necessary to help each student catch up on exactly what
they need to move ahead.
As a result, students continuously receive the right level
of support at exactly the right time to overcome all
learning gaps and master every concept in their path. To

How exactly will ScootPad help Teachers?
Over 75% of classrooms have students with knowledge gaps
that span across multiple grade levels. Yet, most teachers
have resources and knowledge to address only one grade
level. Teachers simply can't muster the time, patience,
data, and recall needed to offer the level of support
needed to each and every student on a daily basis.
That�s why, at ScootPad, we built a powerful
data-driven platform to deliver personalized scaffolding
and instruction to help each and every student move ahead
and reach their full potential. As a result, students
continuously receive the right level of support at exactly
the right time to overcome all learning gaps and master
every concept in their path.
Teachers gain powerful insights and data that enable them
to teach smarter, not harder! ScootPad offers teachers
a smarter way to predict which concepts need re-teaching
and which students need intervention. As a result,
teachers save valuable time that they can use to focus on
more important tasks such as what to teach, when to
intervene and which students to rescue from failing. To

How exactly will ScootPad deliver Personalized Learning?
Traditionally, products claiming personalized learning
capabilities identify a student's level of proficiency in
a subject matter only at a single point in time and only
by using a fixed number of questions (with a placement
test, knowledge check, quiz, assessment etc.). Then, it
will seek to develop a curriculum to fill the identified
gaps of knowledge. In such single-point adaptive
solutions, the curriculum remains static and ignores
students' ongoing progress and struggles.
ScootPad, however, enables continuous adaptivity to
meet each student's unique needs in
real-time. ScootPad analyzes each student response in
real-time taking into account their latest proficiency and
will adjust the rigor (number of questions to practice and
their respective depth of knowledge) and adjust the
learning path (the next concept to learn).
In other words, ScootPad's adaptive learning process
is dynamic and thereby continuously adapting to each
student's unique needs and adjusting the learning path in
real-time to achieve mastery in the desired concepts.
Personalized learning on ScootPad is made possible by
the combined power of data-driven insights and
mastery-based spiral learning techniques. As a result,
students receive learning that is continuously
personalized with the right level of scaffolding at
exactly the right time to overcome all learning gaps and
to enable mastery in every concept.

learning approach, please visit our how ScootPad works

Do teachers have flexibility in how they can use ScootPad?
At ScootPad, we believe each classroom is unique and
hence we offer teachers the utmost flexibility and
customization so they can tailor ScootPad in unique
ways to meet their students' needs. Teachers have the
flexibility to implement our fully automated Adaptive
process or their own teacher-driven Targeted process or a
mix of both models (hybrid) to deliver a very powerful
differentiation model for their students. Here are the
most common use cases and implementation models:
Mastery-Based Classrooms: One or more teachers teach to
groups of students based on their specific needs. Teachers
leverage our pre-built learning paths and also design
their own custom learning paths.
Traditional Classrooms: One teacher per classroom.
Instruction is defined by curriculum maps and pacing
guides. Teachers design their own custom learning paths
and add to them as they progress during the school year.
Technology-Infused Classrooms: Students use ScootPad
in a lab setting driven by a secondary teacher.
Instruction is assumed by the primary teacher (who may or
may not be using ScootPad). Our pre-built learning
paths are used in this scenario.
After-School Classrooms: Students use ScootPad in an
after-school setting driven by a secondary teacher who may
or may not be the primary teacher providing the student
with direct instruction. Our pre-built learning paths are
used in this scenario.
