iXL Classroom Activation Key

Hi! My name is Jason Muse and I am fundraising for a classroom activation key for an online skill-building platform called iXL!

I have a classroom of 16 beautiful 1st graders. Many of my students can benefit drastically from the differentiation, targeted skill building, self-directed learning and formative assessment data, iXL enables and generates. Not only can my students who need remediation get the targeted remediation they need, but my students who are already excelling can be pushed at their level, rather than risk becoming bored or disengaged because the work is too easy for them.

iXL also enables me to bui;d a certain kind of digital literacy which is conducive to the online Star Math and Reading exams students must take two more times this year! I have had much success implementing iXL at the high school level in the past and would really love to replicate this success with my amazing 1st graders!

I would be remiss not to also mention that as a black male teacher, teaching a class of students that is 100 students of color, inside of a school that is 100% free and reduced lunch, serving a historically marginalized community of Bayview-Hunters Point, I feel a profound obligation to do everything in my power to maximize the educational gains for my students. Students who attend school in neighborhoods like BVHP don't typically get access to the best or highest quality resources for various systemic reasons.

Moreover, despite the 30-day trial having just expired today, I have already managed to invest my students in iXL. Many of them are disappointed that they no longer have access to the platform since they enjoyed it so much!

Please help my first-graders maximize academic gains this year in both reading and math by contributing what you can to their educational outcomes!
