What’s New!

You asked, we listened. Educators can choose the date range when viewing the Student Usage Report. They’ll see total lessons completed since the start of the year and can select specific time periods to view student usage. This report is designed to provide educators with information to support their students. 

For our advanced customers, Lesson Highlights gives teachers never-before-seen insights into how students solve problems and respond to challenges on DreamBox. 

This exciting new feature enables teachers to: 

• Watch slideshows of student play 

• Review student play to identify common themes and inform small group instruction  

• Talk through a student’s thought process and strategies while watching side-by-side with them 

DreamBox Reading’s new SEL resources support your SEL curriculum. They provide a reading/writing connection among SEL competencies, DreamBox Reading content and classroom learning objectives. These new resources help students develop:​ 

• Relationship skills​ 

• Responsible decision-making​ 

• Self-awareness​ 

• Self-management​ 

• Social awareness 

DreamBox Reading curriculum based SEL resources align with the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) SEL competencies.  

Students asked, we listened. Our new achievement and stats pages will draw students into their own learning process. Watch their self-esteem and confidence grow with each new achievement. 

Achievements and Stats enable students to: 

• Track their learning and progress toward goals 

• See achievements, lesson history and statistics, such as Week Streaks 

• Reflect on their learning 

• Have an increased ability to talk to teachers about their math goals 

Teachers can send custom notes or prewritten messages of encouragement, goals or reminders to an individual or entire class. Students can initiate conversations and reply to their teacher by choosing from prewritten messages such as, “I need more time to be successful at this,” or “I’m feeling pretty good about this.” Students can also react to messages with an emoji for a quick check-in. Plus, students using DreamBox in Spanish will see all prewritten messages in Spanish, and messages can be read aloud to support all reading levels.  

All DreamBox schools and districts have access to the new Getting Started with DreamBox professional learning sessions from DreamBox University. These complimentary offerings include self-paced minicourses and a live webinar calendar to support educators with onboarding and implementation. Get these resources from the Insight Dashboard by selecting DreamBox University Courses or Live Training Sessions within DreamBox Quick Links.
