Case Study: The Walker School improves science learning and critical thinking with ExploreLearning Gizmos STEM Cases

The Walker School improves science ACT outcomes with ExploreLearning Gizmos STEM Cases

The Walker School, a college-preparatory independent school near Atlanta, sought to improve student science ACT scores and meet new AP Biology course requirements focused on critical thinking. To address this challenge, AP Biology teacher Denice Esterly turned to ExploreLearning and their Gizmos STEM Cases.

ExploreLearning's solution was the implementation of Gizmos STEM Cases, interactive modules like the Osmosis case where students solve real-world problems. The platform provided real-time monitoring through its SABLE tool, allowing the teacher to instantly identify struggling students. This resulted in highly engaged students who developed a stronger sense of accomplishment and a deeper understanding of how to apply knowledge, reinvigorating the teacher's passion for instruction.
