Schools nationwide are finding new ways to provide individually tailored lessons that meet the Common Core State Standards, often relying on a new generation of technology that helps students learn at their own pace. Other digital learning tools use additional techniques to help students succeed. For example, McGraw-Hill Education's Learn Smart and FLEX Literacy each use "adaptive" technology to continually assess students' knowledge, skill and confidence levels to create a unique study path designed to help each student in the topics and concepts they need most. This level of personalization previously was only available from a personal tutor. Learn Smart delivers this adaptive learning experience for a variety of high school subject areas, while FLEX Literacy incorporates it into a comprehensive, Common Corespecific reading and language arts intervention system for students in third through eighth grade.

Parents can rest assured that teachers are increasingly equipped with new technologies that ensure their students are getting the personalized attention they need to improve their chances for long-term success.
