Best Formative Assessment Solution

Apex Tutorials - Edmentum

Tutorials offers personalized learning to identify learning gaps, close them, and accelerate 6-12 students to on-grade proficiency. Tutorials takes a unique approach using skill-level pretests, deployed on an educator’s schedule, to assess grade-level skills as they are taught—instead of once or twice a year—to accelerate learning. Here’s how it looks: • Ms. Jones teaches exponents next week and assigns the corresponding Tutorials module. • Students take a sort, topic-specific pretest. • Students not showing readiness receive lessons to fill gaps. • Students move to the on-grade instruction and take a posttest to validate mastery. • Ms. Jones gets standards-aligned data (also aggregated for administrators) including growth data. Each lesson includes direct instruction (Learn It), non-scored practice with answer-specific feedback (Try It), review (Review It), and assessment (Test It). Media engage students and appeal to learning preferences. Students participate in the lessons not as passive receivers of information but creating learning that sticks. Scaffolds and supports focus on literacy, language, and academic supports needed to provide success for more students Success Managers help districts scale Tutorials for changing situations and support teachers in accelerating learning for all students. Tutorials easily integrate with districts’ systems and are proven to quickly transition between learning settings for a consistent, high-quality formative assessment solution.

FastBridge - Illuminate Education

FastBridge is the only K-12 research-based universal screening and progress monitoring solution to assess reading, math, and social-emotional behavior (SEB) in a single platform with intervention recommendations. Developed in collaboration with researchers at leading universities across the country, it gives educators valid, reliable, and accurate information about students’ academic and SEB risk levels and skill gaps, along with teacher-friendly, information-rich reporting to guide aligned supports at the district, school, classroom, and individual student levels. Teachers can identify specific skill gaps faster, align the right interventions at the right time, and measure whether interventions are helping students catch-up—all in one platform and in up to half the test time.

FastBridge’s unique academic universal screening process combines Computer-Adaptive Tests (CAT) and Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM), assessing both broad and specific skills in only 5-30 minutes. Immediately after screening, educators are provided with precise, prescriptive reporting that pinpoints specific class-wide, small group, and individual students’ skill gaps. It also recommends aligned class-wide lesson plans and small group/individual student intervention strategies targeted to students’ specific skill needs. Aggregated screening data help educators monitor for equitable outcomes and drive high-impact Tier 1 resources targeted to the universal needs of all learners.

FastBridge’s SEB screening tools help reveal whole child needs and potential barriers to academic success. The Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS) provides valid, reliable SEB screening data to align Tier 1 SEL programming and professional development to students’ specific social, emotional, and/or academic behavior needs. It also helps teachers drive small group inventions and inform individual supports. FastBridge now includes a suite of vetted behavior interventions aligned to each of the SAEBRS subdomains, so teachers are able to quickly turn their SEB screening data into targeted interventions. With a Convincing Evidence rating, FastBridge provides the ONLY behavior screening tool rated by the National Center on Intensive Interventions (NCII).

Educators are also able to monitor the effectiveness of students’ math, reading, and SEB interventions using FastBridge’s progress monitoring tools. The FAST Projection Line™ gives teachers an accurate prediction of student progress in only six data points (instead of the usual 12). As a result, educators have insight into intervention effectiveness in half the time as other platforms, saving weeks or months of testing and lost instructional time.

With both in and out of product training, including teacher certification, a library of online courses, and customized virtual training opportunities, the FastBridge system ensures not only successful implementations, but ongoing support throughout the entire school year.

Best of all, Quizizz:

Makes true formative assessment fun 

Teachers have been making formative assessment fun in the classroom for a long time. Quizizz is one of the first ed tech companies to do it well.  

Others provide fun games, but the games are so competitive and fast-paced that they really only reveal who works well under pressure or who the strongest readers are, not what students have truly mastered and are ready to learn next.  

With Quizizz, teachers can provide low- and no-stakes opportunities for students to show what they know without the  fast-paced pressure of a game.  

Is LOVED by teachers and students 

Seriously, lots of teachers love other products out there, but students find them ho-hum. Similarly, there’s a few products out  there that students love but teachers hate. Quizizz is perhaps the ONLY solution that can claim to be loved by both students AND teachers.  

Is learner-centric and teacher-powered 

Classrooms, schools, and districts are learner-centric and teacher-powered. We believe that ed tech solutions should be, too because that’s the true heart of teaching and learning. Unfortunately, most products center the teacher and are  powered by students. We think that’s backward. And that’s why we built Quizizz differently.  

Is Used by 80% of teachers, 90% of schools.
Students across the globe answered 20 BILLION questions last year. That’s big.
