Offers Dynamic Reporting on Student Progress toward State Standards
ALEKS Corporation, a leading provider of K-12, Higher Education, and consumer Web-based assessment and learning solutions for mathematics, today announced that its K-12 course products for grades 3-8 are now integrated with all 50 states’ standards. The integrated courses include Mathematics LV 3, 4, 5, and 6; Middle School Math 1, 2 and 3; and Pre-Algebra. ALEKS course products offer individualized instruction and feature the following:
* ALEKS Artificial Intelligence - targets gaps in individual student knowledge;
* Comprehensive & Customizable Curriculum - aligns to state standards and can be easily integrated with syllabi or textbooks;
* Robust Student Progress Reports - monitor student, class, school and district progress toward state standards;
* Fully Bilingual - English and Spanish for grades 3-9;
* Unlimited Online Access - PC & MAC compatible from virtually any computer with Internet access.
The ALEKS state standards integration enables detailed reporting that allows teachers and administrators a precise view of every student's knowledge at any time. Reports can be viewed for a student, class, school, or district and let teachers and administrators track progress toward fulfillment of state standards.
ALEKS developed the new state standards integration in order to address the growing demand for accountability and measurable success in K-12 education. "It’s critical to ALEKS that we continually build upon the learning solutions that propel student success,” said Wil Lampros, President of ALEKS Corporation. "The new course products integrated with state standards allow teachers to better meet the unique learning needs of each student. With the variety of reports offered by ALEKS, teachers and administrators always have an accurate picture of student progress toward state standards and can use ALEKS to target any gaps," he added.
Fundamentally different from other educational software, ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) uses an artificial intelligence engine that assesses each student individually and continuously. Through adaptive questioning, ALEKS accurately assesses a student's knowledge and then delivers targeted instruction on the exact topics a student is most ready to learn. As the student learns new topics, ALEKS constantly updates its map of the student's knowledge.
The new ALEKS K-12 courses integrated with state standards can be implemented as a core curriculum or supplement for use in remediation, intervention, gifted or after school programs.
