A+ School and District Assessment, Curriculum, and Reporting Management

The A+nyWhere Learning System (A+LS) Management System is the unifying component for all A+ assessment, curriculum instruction, and reporting elements by acting as the central administrative “hub” for all student data in a class, school or district. The Management System delivers in many different deployments and is offered in with many licensing options, including a one-time payment option. And, by incorporating state standards in the development of assessments and content, it serves as the core of an efficient and successful program for school improvement.

No competing learning system offers such a complete centrally-managed combination of assessment, instruction, alignment to state standards, student data management and reporting capabilities, all offered in a technical deployment and licensing plans to fit your needs.

The importance of school accountability requirements has shaped the A+LS product design philosophy. The structure of our products allows for aggregation of data associated with subjects, standards, backgrounds, and other socioeconomic factors needed for school accountability.

Scaled Assessments – A+ LearningLink

• Placement – A+ LearningLink enables teachers to place students at the appropriate level, allowing for differentiated instruction.
• Prediction –Teachers and administrators can forecast how well a student is likely to do on state achievement tests required by NCLB that report on the Lexile and Quantile scales.
• Prescription – The results from A+ LearningLink are an adaptive prescription that can prescribe appropriate instruction into the A+nyWhere Learning System. Standards Reports and Prescription Reports give teachers the necessary information to address what the student is ready to learn. Teachers will not only be able to predict a student’s performance on state tests, but will also be able to prescribe the right material to improve learning.
• Progress – Because results are aligned with state standards and reported on a recognized developmental scale, educators can track progress on the same scale used by many states and high-stakes tests. This can be used to show progress for AYP and determine if interventions are truly working.

Instruction

• Over 140 titles contain over 5,400 lessons.
• Research-based direct instruction model.

Tracking Progress and Reporting

The A+nyWhere Learning System Management System provides a complete tracking and reporting system. Every student action in A+LS is tracked and can be analyzed through various reports. Everything from a class roster, to time on task, to skills and standards mastered/not mastered is available from the reporting system.

Throughout tutorial interventions, students have access to progress reports. These reports include lessons accessed, time spent on each activity, and mastery of both lessons and standards. In addition, while students are working on lessons, immediate feedback is provided regarding performance on every practice item.

For the educator and administrator, there are over 180 reports available in the A+nyWhere Learning System. Among other things, these reports provide clear feedback on student and class progress, additional needs, and mastery of skills covered. Learn More: http://www.amered.com/beta_progress_reporting.php
