“According to aerodynamic laws, the bumblebee cannot fly. Its body weight is not the right proportion to its wingspan. Ignoring these laws, the bee flies anyway.”

   — André Sainte-Lague quoted in “Le Vol des Insectes,” 1934

Common sense tells us that one teacher cannot effectively meet the individual needs of each of 30 students — not when five are reading at a below-proficient level, three are waiting impatiently to move on, several lack learning strategies, two are in terror of looking stupid if called upon, four are complaining about the lack of relevance, and several others have simply tuned out. 

Adding to the pressure, this same teacher is expected to ensure that each of these students stays on track to graduate from high school on time and is prepared to pass high-stakes state exams.

A “one-size-fits-all” model simply doesn’t meet the needs of every student. Schools challenged to find new approaches to support success for all students are implementing Apex Learning digital curriculum solutions. We’re proud to share the results.

The bumblebee can fly. How can we help you create opportunities for more of your students to take wing and fly?
