Assessment Drives Instruction & Practice

SYSTEM 44 is a data-driven program, which means student performance impacts instruction. A variety of formative assessment instruments identify students’ most urgent needs, enabling the program and teacher to adjust instruction accordingly.

Ongoing Diagnostic & Formative Assessment

The SYSTEM 44 Software assesses student performance in phonics, decoding, fluency, spelling, comprehension, and writing, identifying strengths and weaknesses to support grouping for CheckPoints for Differentiated Instruction.

Writing Assessment

Software Writing scaffolds students’ writing of well-developed, evidence-based argument paragraphs and tests students' understanding of reading and writing skills addressed during Small-Group Instruction

Performance-Based Assessment

Students apply higher-order thinking skills such as synthesize and analyze that they have learned across multiple texts, and collaborate with peers to produce a written outcome.
