Methods of Assessment: Being able to address each student’s academic strengths and weaknesses is a critical part of the computerized curriculum. Built-in Diagnostic Tests for Math and Language Arts allow teachers to pinpoint a student’s actual learning level, which may not always correspond to his chronological grade level. The computer Analyzer program then provides a prescription, giving the teacher specific units and lessons to assign each student.

An initial assessment provided by the software pinpoints the exact strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. Students will not spend a lot of time and energy working through previously mastered information. The software provides a detailed list of the lessons the student needs to work through, and the teacher "plugs" these lessons into the school calendar, which posts the lessons each student needs to work through each day. If the student is having trouble getting through the lessons in her plan, the teacher can decelerate the schedule. If the student is getting the work done in time and with mastery, the teacher will gradually accelerate the schedule.

A final assessment will also be given during the final month of the school year in order to measure each individual’s progress for the school year. The software measures progress instantly as the student works through the curriculum. Students are unable to move on to the next lesson in a subject until they prove mastery of their present level by getting at least 90% of the items correct during practice assessments and 90% of the questions correct on final assessments within the software.

Additionally oral and written teacher-made assessments are scheduled within the software no less than once a unit. These teacher made tests are administered to insure the student hasn’t figured out a way to cheat, and to review any additional information the teacher wants to assess. If a student is having trouble with a particular concept the teacher realizes that possibly a prerequisite lesson or unit needs to be reviewed. Assessment activities within the software include Spelling Quizzes, Intelligent Text Entry, Reports, Crossword Puzzles, Matching, Interactive Learning Activities, Graphical Multiple Choice, Paragraph Answers, Text Multiple Choice, Sorting, Essays, Drag-And-Drop, Printed tests, True/False, etc.

The mnemonic material taught by the instructor is reviewed / assessed no less than 4 times over a period of 3 school days. Many of these assessments are in the form of memory games. The games used in the U.S. National Memory Championships sponsored by ConEdison are an example. Some of these assessments are oral, and some (including the fifth or final assessment) are written and kept in a student mnemonics portfolio.
