Improve Lesson Design and Instructional Method

All students have a voice in the collaborative classroom learning experience and can express themselves in a variety of ways for differentiated learning.

Using Exploros to focus on lesson design and instructional approach, districts can shift to OER content and accelerate device purchases with instructional materials savings.

How we teach is what we teach. Exploros makes it easier for teachers to implement rich instructional methodologies such as the 5Es, PBL, and more.

Per Student Savings

• Exploros drives efficiencies in 1:1 classrooms by reducing districts instructional materials spent.

• Districts can self-publish, use OER based curriculum and only pay for actual usage.

• Exploros also enables significant savings on assessment, PD, data and IT support by streamlining district technology needs.

• Exploros can save the district money from the outset. In year 3, a district can pay for device refresh from the operating budget, which can accelerate 1:1 adoption, and increase savings.

Savings with Exploros $0 $31 $64 $83 $92 $270 * $64+ saved is annual cost of a Chromebook. Watch financial model video
