Early literacy assessment & intervention, grounded in the Science of Reading. mCLASS is an all-in-one system for Science of Reading-based universal screening, dyslexia screening, and progress monitoring. Powered by DIBELS® 8th Edition, mCLASS helps you measure and strengthen the foundational skills that all students need to become confident readers. 

mCLASS, the only digital provider of DIBELS 8th edition assessments, provides universal screening, dyslexia screening and progress monitoring to assess your students on their reading trajectory and what skills they need to develop.

You’ll observe students as they form sounds or read words and text. Then, mCLASS instantly scores and analyzes student response patterns to provide you with diagnostic data and instructional focus for each student and group.

With mCLASS, you’ll have everything you need to support every type of learner in your classroom, including advanced learners, multilingual learners, and students at risk for dyslexia.

EasyCBM Math is comprised of measures of early numeracy, computation, and problem-solving that function as indicators of the essential skills that every child must master in order to become proficient in mathematics. The measures can be used to quickly and efficiently monitor the development of mathematics skills. EasyCBM Math is designed for use in identifying children experiencing difficulty in the acquisition of basic mathematics skills, in order to provide support early and prevent the occurrence of later mathematics difficulties. It is an assessment used to measure the acquisition of mathematics skills from kindergarten through sixth grade.

The purposes of EasyCBM Math are:

• To identify students who may be at risk for mathematics difficulties (universal screening).
• To help teachers identify areas to target instructional support.
• To monitor at-risk students while they receive additional targeted instruction.
• To examine the effectiveness of the school’s system of instructional supports.
• The advantages of EasyCBM Math are:
• It is specifically designed for use within a problem-solving, outcomes-driven model of decision-making and response to intervention.
• It is directly aligned to the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics.
• Its measures are reliable and valid.
• Its research-based benchmark goals are being developed for the measures, which define a level at which the odds are in the student's favor of meeting later mathematics outcome goals.

Founded by educators nearly 40 years ago, Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) is a global non-profit educational services organization known for its flagship interim assessment, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) These assessments measure student growth and learning needs, foster educators’ ability to accelerate student learning, and are based on research that supports assessment validity and data interpretation.

In any given classroom, students learn and grow at different rates. To help tailor teaching to meet the needs of all students, this computer adaptive research based assessment is used three times during the school year in grades K-8. The NWEA assessments deliver precise and immediate results that identify learning levels, and the data is used to differentiate instruction.

NWEA assessments react to each student’s answers. In the testing world, this makes assessments “adaptive,” or personalized to measure the needs of every student. If you child answers a question correctly, the test follows up with a more challenging question. If your child answers incorrectly, the test follows up with an easier question.

This computer-adaptive test dynamically adjusts to each student’s instructional level for personalized testing. It provides a clear understanding of students’ performance across a range of subjects without being limited to a particular grade level, making it easy to develop individualized learning plans. NWEA assessments can be used as a diagnostic tool, to assist with student placement, and to measure gains to provide insight into program effectiveness.

STAR assessments are computer adaptive, using sophisticated item calibration and psychometrics to dynamically adjust to each student’s unique responses. Fully supported by extensive research, they are easy to administer and yield the valid, reliable, actionable data educators need.
