Comprehensive Overview
The A+nyWhere Learning System (A+LS) contains over 130,000 test items designed to determine whether students have mastered specific skills. These items can be administered to students in a variety of methods that are described below.
A+LS provides districts the capability to conduct short and frequent assessments targeted to specific content standards, benchmarks, and performance standards. These assessments can be utilized to adjust, or “course correct,” individual instructional plans.
The American Education Corporation (AEC) also offers A+ LearningLink, an online standardized/predictive assessment that can prescribe lessons to A+LS for student instruction, based on the results.
Closing the loop between assessment and instruction
The A+nyWhere Learning System’s assessment capabilities were primarily designed for instructional planning also known as formative assessment. Most commercially-sold curricula such as reading and math come with placement tests. The tests are used to help make decisions such as into which textbook the student should be placed, or to identify the parts of the scope and sequence the student knows. Assessments in A+LS are designed to understand important information about students’ formation of knowledge, understanding, and performance so that proper instruction can be given. This is the purpose of the assessment technologies in A+LS.
Below is a complete listing of the assessment capabilities contained within the A+LS.
