"To the Lords and Ladies of Study Island"

H.L. Brockett Elementary School in Aubrey, TX has used Study Island for grades 2 – 5 for several years now. In the initial year of use, the technology teacher partnered with classroom teachers to provide a prize drawing for digital cameras, MP3 players, flash drives, and more. Students received entries into the drawing for completing Blue Ribbons for all topics in a section. Wildly successful, students began to crave more.



Enter the Study Island Royalty Wall-of-Fame. Students who completed all topics in a section in Blue Ribbon fashion were photographed wearing a crown, and the pictures were displayed in the hallway for all of the “subjects” to see! The students loved the photographic pat on the back, with many students spending hours over the weekends and during school vacation days perfecting their Study Island skills.
As an added bonus, students who achieved “king or queen” status were given special invitations to a “Study Island Royalty Party” at the end of the year. The festivities included food, beverages, lively music, and the high-light of the afternoon – 100 feet of bubble wrap! Each student was allowed to make one pass across the popping-pathway on a tricycle, as those awaiting a turn cheered them on from the sidelines!
Not to be outdone, Mr. David Cox, the technology teacher and champion of Study Island is adding a live band to this year’s “Royalty Ball”. Students from Brockett are averaging well over 10,000 questions answered every week, and teachers have embraced the powerful re-teaching and skill strengthen impact that Study Island has on all of the kids, regardless of grade level. As a result of the amazing results that Brockett, and sister campus J.A. Monaco Elementary have seen since introducing Study Island, Aubrey ISD has recently extended the program to include implementing Study Island through middle school and high school!
Please consider the innovative and creative efforts of Mr. David Cox and the Brockett teaching staff when searching for great success stories for future use. To contact Mr. Cox, please e-mail at dcox@aubreyisd.net
