WebbAlign’s DOK Program Supports Stride’s Goal to Strengthen
Student Outcomes
Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN)—a leading provider of online and
blended learning solutions—is committed to delivering an
interactive, standards-aligned curriculum for K–12 students.
To strengthen this commitment, Stride is partnering with
WebbAlign: the home of the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) framework
developed by Dr. Norman Webb. The DOK framework serves as a
communication and evaluation tool that helps educators and schools
operationalize the rigorous expectations of today’s standards. A
program of the non-profit Wisconsin Center for Education Products
and Services (WCEPS) and affiliated with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, WebbAlign is the nation’s premier provider of
DOK- and alignment-related professional learning and academic
content evaluation services.
“At Stride, we’re committed to the success of every student,”
said Dr. Tony Bennett, Stride’s President of Schools. “That means
ensuring all students have access to standards-aligned learning
opportunities that support students’ individual needs in ways that
foster resilience, perseverance, and self-management. Our
partnership with WebbAlign supports this goal.”
At Stride’s K12-powered schools and programs, students use
individual assignments and group projects, among other methods, to
show their mastery of course material. Additionally, periodic
assessments help both students and teachers fill in knowledge gaps
and adapt to each student’s level of progress and proficiency.
Today’s academic standards emphasize conceptual understanding
and use of disciplinary practices and habits of mind. While
traditional methods of analyzing academic content and testing rely
on perceived or empirical level of difficulty, Webb’s DOK
differentiates difficulty from complexity and was developed
specifically to support educators and other stakeholders in
interpreting and operationalizing the complexity of cognitive
engagement.
As a curriculum provider that serves public and private schools
in all 50 states, Stride develops courses and content that are
flexible enough to meet various state standards and requirements.
What is restricted in one state may be required in another.
Therefore, Stride’s courses can be customized in ways that meet
respective state standards without impacting each school’s
individual content.
Through Stride’s K12 programs, students across the country
access a robust online curriculum in core subjects and a host of
electives and attend live, virtual classes taught by
state-credentialed teachers.
