Make Instruction Even More Effective 

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reported the average test scores for U.S. 13-year-olds have dipped in reading and dropped sharply in math, and lower-performing students saw even greater declines in math, highlighting the need to urgently re-think how classroom instruction could be made more accessible.��

By leveraging educational technologies to develop, grade, and analyze formative and summative assessment data year-round, teachers gain ample time to deliver high-quality, differentiated instruction, helping ensure learners are accessing and engaged in grade-level content.��
