Edcanvas
Simple, yet effective Differentiation
Edcanvas to date
TODO: Current status and update on Edcanvas
“It struck me as an incredibly robust platform for pulling together
the vast resources from multiple platforms in a short amount of time with the ability to build an adaptive
“canvas” quickly for different student groups.”

Differentiation is hard.
Many NSV schools are attempting blended models with adaptive or differentiated content:
• Aspire Public Schools (Eres Academy)
• Rocketship Education
• Summit Public Schools
• Leadership Public Schools
• LA Alliance (BLAST)
• DSST Public Schools
• E.L. Haynes Public Charter Schools
• Ingenuity Prep
• Renew Schools (SciTech Academy)
Edcanvas can make this easy
We know how to make complex systems simple for educators
Edcanvas is widely known as one of the simplest edtech tools for teachers
We have ethnographic, anecdotal, and statistical data on how great teachers have been differentiating using Edcanvas
Make differentiation easy, yet effective
“Leaf” differentiation method: Single dimension thought-process for creating a multi-dimensional lesson plan
Checkpoints that actually result in student and teacher action items
Decentralized Differentiation Students given agency over learning
Teachers and students modify lesson plans
1:1 student/teacher differentiation in real-time, based on student progress.
“This is the Holy Grail of differentiation”

“Leaf” Differentiation
What is “Leaf” Differentiation?
Single Path
Multiple Checkpoints spawn “Leaves” based on results
Students get more or less instruction based on their level.

Decentralized Differentiation
What is Decentralized Differentiation?
Students own a copy of any lesson plan they receive
Teachers and students work 1:1 whenever a student has trouble
Teachers can make changes to the students’ lesson plan in real-time
Students can request changes that a teacher then approves
Student-centric Differentiationvia 1:1 instruction and requests
Why we are different
1) Teacher centric
2) Individualized differentiation
