Gateway2Achieve has partnered with New Ascent Education to bring a space mission to your classroom! MISSION: SubSpace is an aerospace-focused, STEM learning experience. It is a NASA-like science mission that sends your students to space and back! A launch event is experienced in real time through an interactive, web-based portal. It is emceed by a live broadcaster and followed up with a Q&A session with an industry expert.
Using ground-based launch technologies, MISSION: SubSpace creates a unique, high-value experience. This real-time, chip satellite launch event makes students feel like they are in the driver’s seat of a NASA-like mission. The launch of tiny microchip-sized satellites, called Sparks, collect and transmit atmospheric data throughout the mission. A 3D Earth display shows each Spark’s trajectory and location, and data plots allow students to investigate atmospheric properties like temperature, pressure, and more!
Teachers are the most important factor in student learning. That’s why every Standards Plus lesson is directly taught by a teacher.
“Direct Instruction is a proven method of instruction that fosters the most significant gains in student achievement and results in deep and enduring understanding of the concept.” (Peladeau, Forget & Gagne, 2003).
Each lesson has a clear learning objective, providing easily understood instruction which allows students to learn and retain the information in their long term memory.
Each standard/skill is broken down and presented in at least 4 lessons (sometimes more) providing multiple opportunities to practice and develop a deep understanding of a specific skill allowing for long term retention.
“The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback.” (John Hattie, 1992) Every lesson provides immediate feedback to the students.
For students who need further instruction to master a standard/skill, immediate intervention lessons are available that scaffold below grade level and provide the necessary instruction that allows students to master the standard.
