Sown To Grow is an online performance tracker for students. Students complete assignments and assessments from a variety of third party programs, enter in their scores, and reflect on their work while teachers monitor student progress and performance. It is available for purchase at an annual rate.
APPROACH
Teachers begin using Sown To Grow by creating an account, logging in, and entering in student information to create a class profile. From the ‘Activities’ dashboard, teachers chose an activity or assessment from one of Sown To Grow’s online partner programs such as Khan Academy, IXL, STAR Math, or Exit Ticket, and assign it to students.
Students use Sown To Grow by first logging in to their student profile and viewing assigned activities. Before students complete the assignment, they enter in their personal performance goals for each activity. They then complete the activity and enter in their own scores. Students then review and reflect on their scores and strategies in writing, and can elect to redo the assignment or extra practice if they desire a higher score. Both students and teachers check reporting graphics to view performance and progress through the assignments.
WHO’S USING IT
As of 2016, over 1,000 students and teachers in over 100 schools are using Sown To Grow.
PRICING
Sown to Grow costs $190 per teacher or $7 per student user, annually.
