As school districts seek ways to deliver relevant, standards-based instruction aligned to both state standards and the Common Core, Classworks provides dual-aligned “power units” to support educators during the transition. Classworks utilizes the data from assessments and high stakes test scores to automatically create individualized learning paths for each student. Unlike other data management systems, Classworks automatically aligns instruction to state standards and the Common Core.
“With Classworks, you are ahead of the curve. As states are still trying to figure out how to integrate the two sets of standards, Classworks offers an immediate way to make assignments based on the Common Core and to build assessments to measure student mastery against the new standards,” says Dr. Stan DeJarnett, current chief academic officer at Curriculum Advantage and former Superintendent, Morgan County, Georgia. “This ability is invaluable to transition efforts. Teachers are able to easily see where instruction fits into the standards today and tomorrow.”
Classworks rigorous, standards-aligned supplemental curriculum includes both skill-level instruction and performance-based projects. “Classworks projects offer a great way to gauge students’ higher-order thinking skills. And our students are really engaged because they offer a chance to work collaboratively on real-world scenarios,” says Dr. Martha Hill, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Cleveland County, North Carolina.
Classworks also includes comprehensive assessment tools to evaluate students’ current concept mastery and measure their progress throughout the year.
