With Sirius Online, teachers have the tools to adapt their instruction to meet their students’ diverse abilities. In biology, our materials assess reading and writing skills, giving educators insights to tailor their lessons. In math, we recognize that there are often multiple ways to reach a solution, and Sirius equips both teachers and students to discover the best path forward for each individual.
