All activities are assigned according to individual need appropriate for student's developmental level. Students only work on instruction specifically required, making study more efficient. CompassLearning management system supports diagnostic prescriptive assignment. Teacher must be trained to monitor and supervise multidimensional instruction. Computer presents student with authentic problems that require student to master and apply skills that support problem-solving.
Student learns to apply skills in the same activity that teaches basics of skill itself.
This, in turn, tends to fortify skill mastery and reinforce relevance. Advanced training in applying constructivist materials are required. Like the constructivist model, academic skills are taught within authentic contexts, as well as within themes. In addition to Constructivist Model advantages, themes can be chosen to provide more personal interest and immediacy for student. Many CompassLearning activities have thematic applications.
