Some of our member schools are going to be starting summer school very soon. If you have been giving regular assessments in Assessment Center, you can easily discover which tested skills the student in question needs to revisit in order to reach mastery.
Just log in to Assessment Center, click on the class in question and then click on reports. Next, click on Overall Student Performance. On the resulting page, select the individual student you are looking for and then select the desired subject area and click Show Report.
You will receive a report showing the student's percentages in the tested skills. This report can be a great help when planning a course of study for the summer.
One of the tools you can use to address the low percentages is Skills Tutor. You can create an individualized set of practice lessons for each student. It's a great help to have each student have an available activity while you are working with other students. The students can also do the Skills Tutor lessons over and over.
Don't forget that you can create new assessments in a few minutes that will help you monitor the progress during any period of study. There is no need to keep teaching a concept that a student has mastered.
