In order to provide Once instruction, each day an instructor and a student sit in front of a laptop computer. The instructional materials are on the screen. The student focuses on the left portion of the screen, the student pane. The instructor focuses on the right portion of the screen, the instructor pane, where the instructor can see the complete script.
There are 200 cycles in the Once curriculum. We call each lesson a cycle because all of the instructional content is carefully spiraled. Each student moves through Once at that student's own pace.
The student license includes access to the curriculum, biweekly automated oral reading fluency assessments, an integrated instructional log to track progress, and a data dashboard.
