Assess to Learn–Standards-Driven Assessment and Student Progress Monitoring
Teachers can monitor the progress of a single student or an entire class using a new Standards report in Bridges. The Standards Analytics report allows teachers to review whole-class and individual student performance against state and national standards. Teachers can:
- Locate and assign proficiency assessments that support specific standards or skills.
- Quickly identify struggling students by drilling into the Analytics Standards report.
- Easily assign additional standards-based resources and practice for remediation.
Activities
Interactive Vocabulary Tutorials have been updated with NEW IMAGES and GIFS
The updated images simplify complex concepts and facilitate accelerated learning. In addition, they help students make connections and relate to the content more easily, which leads to faster learning. Visuals capture attention, promote inclusivity, and enhance memory retention. They also encourage active engagement and critical thinking skills.
The new overall look and feel of these Vocabulary Tutorials is paired with educators’ control over translations, which can be activated in course settings. These updated tutorials are available for Portales, Portails, and PRIME programs on vhlcentral.
