True-life stories
Curious how your fellow teachers are integrating IXL into their core curriculum, or using the program to prepare students for success on Common Core standards? Or maybe you’d like to work IXL into your RTI model. Check out the IXL Community’s True-life Stories to see what’s worked for our users! You’ll read about how third-grade teacher Ashley Cook uses progress charts to encourage her students to take ownership of their own performance, how Kelly Petersen incorporates IXL into group practice for her fifth graders, and more.
Elite 100
Last fall, we honored the IXL Elite 100 – our top teachers from around the world based on student usage. The remarkable, creative ways they’ve leveraged IXL to motivate students and drive achievement have inspired us, and we hope they’ll do the same for you! Take a look at the Elite 100 page and click around to explore how these teachers make learning fun through IXL, and the tools that have helped them the most. Perhaps some of their strategies – like “IXL Sprints,” the “100% Club” and the “IXL Hall of Fame” – will spark ideas for your classroom!
