BAIP Features

BAIP is a web-based lesson framework system that offers a comprehensive road map to integrate your state's curriculum standards into instruction that supports teaching and student learning. BAIP also provides students online independent study resources to help them understand and learn these skills.

BAIP is based on the logic that students learn best in an environment where assessment and instruction are blended to support teachers and engage students. The program provides teachers with high-quality instructional resources aligned with your state's curriculum standards and timely access to student performance data. The program provides three sets of web-based resources for students and teachers in grades 3 through high school that are based on standards and indicators.

• 276 self-contained, comprehensive lessons for use by teachers
• 417 independent online study tutorials for students
• and a data reporting system designed to provide teachers immediate feedback on student performance to facilitate instructional decision-making.

BAIP LESSON FRAMEWORKS

The Contextual Framework introduces the lesson by providing teachers with basic information about the state standard, benchmark, and indicator aligned with the lessons.

The Teaching Framework provides teachers with more detail about each indicator and serves as an instructional tool to increase teachers’ knowledge about that specific indicator.

The Lesson Framework begins by identifying concepts that serve to link what students’ already know and have experienced (prior knowledge) to new concepts being introduced.

Teachers are provided with an age appropriate application of the new skills or concepts being introduced, and with specific strategies to introduce concrete models of skills or concepts, followed by step-by-step demonstrations. Each concept is illustrated through specific examples of teacher prompts and corresponding student responses.

These prompts and responses serve two purposes: first, they require students to be actively engaged in the lesson; second, students’ responses allow teachers to continuously monitor skill acquisition.

The Application Framework includes three components: guided practice, independent practice, and validation questions. BAIP lessons provide teachers with all the materials needed to demonstrate proficiency in content areas addressed in these three stages, as well as supplemental practice worksheets.

The Extensions Framework provides teachers with additional activities for students with learning disabilities and students in need of academic enrichment.

BAIP STUDENT TUTORIALS

Tutorials provide the students with online independent study to help them understand and learn mathematics skills and concepts included in your states Curricular Standards. BAIP tutorials incorporate assessment items that mimic items on state assessments. This format provides students with additional opportunities to experience and respond to assessment items that are similar to items they encounter on state assessments.

BAIP DATA REPORTING SYSTEM

The BAIP Data Reporting System provides an electronic grade book for teachers. When a student completes a BAIP tutorial or quiz, results are automatically sent to the teachers’ BAIP Grade Book. This maximizes the ability of teachers to base their instructional decisions on student performance.
