Technology Resources to Motivate Success and Benchmark Milestones

Through A+ by K¹², we offer a comprehensive approach to classroom and computer lab environments that enables individualized learning among a widely diverse group of students. Over 15,000 schools nationwide are currently using these programs to provide differentiated instruction and meet federal, state, district, and local mandates.

It all starts with the signature A+nyWhere Learning System, which can not only help transform your assessments, but also assist with credit recovery, accelerate the path of advanced learners, and extend student learning beyond the core curriculum.

A+nyWhere Learning System (A+LS)

Harness the Power to Assess, Prescribe, Instruct, and Report

The A+nyWhere Learning System (A+LS) has incorporated every state's learning standards for grades K–12 in order to help students master state requirements through their own customized learning path. The program's network of assessments links students directly to the instructional content they need, so that teachers can more easily match curriculum and instruction to their skill level—whether they're on a developmental, remedial, or enhanced learning trajectory.

The A+LS framework is based on four fundamental components:

1. Assess: Pre-tests and adaptive assessments identify each student's strengths and deficiencies, all correlated to state and national standards.
2. Prescribe: A personalized curriculum plan for each student is generated to address skill gaps.
3. Instruct: Content is presented through a research-based model of carefully sequenced direct instruction using study guides, quizzes, mastery tests, and essays where relevant.
4. Report: Sophisticated teacher and administrator tools help track and analyze all aspects of individual and class performance, in order to benchmark progress and refine curriculum plans.

Delivered online and/or through a LAN or WAN, A+LS is an effective resource for traditional schools, charter schools, blended learning classrooms, after-school learning programs, literacy centers, and more. Comprised of assessment modules and self-paced lessons that put students at ease, the program encompasses:

• Over 145 subjects/titles featuring over 5,400 lessons in reading, literature, writing, math, science, social studies, Spanish, and electives
• Over 130,000 test items designed to assess student mastery
• Over 5,500 study hours and 200,000 pages of objectives-based, standards-aligned content
