Case Study

Twin Falls Summer School:
years of growth in four weeks.

Summer school is where catching up happens on purpose. Sawtooth Elementary ran DMTI lessons for four weeks and measured the result on their district's own assessment.

Students making 1-2 years of math growth
Roughly 70% of students, measured on Istation over four weeks of summer school
70%
of students made one to two years of math growth
in four weeks of summer school

"We saw growth when implementing the bar model and strategies we taught them. We use Istation, which is our district's assessment tool, and roughly 70% of students made between one and two years of growth in math in four weeks!"

"The DMTI program allows teachers to go back (or forward) to different grade levels to pull out those pieces missing from other grades (which helped to fill academic holes.)"
