Setting usage goals helps Teachers and Students maximize the benefits of Imagine MyPath. For teachers, establishing clear usage goals helps them allocate time efficiently for Imagine MyPath within their overall instructional plan. Goals can also help them integrate the program effectively into their classroom routine. For students, achievable goals help them stay motivated and engaged while encouraging them to take ownership of their learning.
To support students' academic growth and ensure that students and teachers are using MyPath effectively, we recommend the following usage and implementation guidelines:
-
Students
- Spend 30 minutes (minimum) per week per subject.
- Spend 15-20 minutes per session working in the program.
- Complete at least one lesson per week per subject.
- Students below grade level should spend 60-90 minutes per subject per week.
-
Teachers
- Spend approximately 30 minutes per week reviewing program data and planning next steps.
- Ensure that all students are meeting the minimum usage and completion goals and identify opportunities for small or whole-group follow-up based on lesson performance.
A star rewards system for students in grades K–8 can also be a source of motivation. Students earn stars by completing activities and lessons, and earned stars unlock rewards that students can use to personalize their online experience. The rewards system is not enabled for students in grades 9–12, but all students can customize their experience at any time by choosing different sidekicks and backgrounds available on their My Stuff page.
