mCLASS®:TPRI® - Funding
mCLASS:TPRI and mCLASS:Tejas LEE meet the requirements for major funding guidelines for early literacy.
Title I
| Guideline | mCLASS®:TPRI and mCLASS®:Tejas LEE® |
|---|---|
| Identify children who may be at risk of reading failure or who are having difficulty reading through the use of screening, diagnostic, and classroom-based instructional reading assessments | mCLASS:TPRI and mCLASS:Tejas LEE, using mobile technology, help teachers administer these assessments efficiently and reliably. Equipped with these solutions, teachers can accurately diagnose the risk of reading failure and make appropriate instructional plans. |
| Provide assistance to individual students assessed as needing help in meeting challenging state academic achievement standards |
Comprehensive, real-time, aggregate Web reporting helps guide student learning with tools that enable teachers to differentiate instruction. Using these tools, teachers are better equipped to provide the right instruction to each student. |
| Formative assessment and progress monitoring to help disadvantaged children reach proficiency |
Teachers are able to check student performance and progress frequently using the mCLASS system. Progress monitoring takes only a few minutes and provides valuable real-time information on learning trajectories. |
| Provide greater decision making authority and flexibility to schools and teachers |
mCLASS:TPRI and mCLASS:Tejas LEE help educators make informed instructional decisions for individual students, small groups, and whole classes. Coaches and principals can use the data to support regular data-driven conversations about student achievement and realign resources to meet student needs. In Wireless Generation’s professional services offerings, teachers use their student data provided in online reports to learn how to identify student strengths and weaknesses and discover how to differentiate instruction. They also learn to use progress monitoring data to refine small groups and target instruction appropriately. Principals and other leaders learn how to access high-level reports and use data to make important instructional and managerial decisions— promoting an important cultural shift in the school. |
| Provide children an enriched and accelerated educational program, including additional services that increase the amount and quality of instructional time |
Benchmark and progress monitoring data helps teachers determine what instruction is most beneficial to student growth, maximizing the impact of valuable instructional minutes and accelerating student growth. Wireless Generation professional services are tailored to meet the needs of teachers and administrators with practice activities organized around actual student data. During these sessions, participants learn strategies for increasing the value of each instructional moment, which can be applied to individual, small group, and whole class instruction. |
Title II, Part D Enhancing Education through Technology
| Guideline | mCLASS®:TPRI and mCLASS®:Tejas LEE® |
|---|---|
| Promote initiatives that provide teachers, principals, and administrators with the capacity to integrate technology into curricula and instruction |
mCLASS:TPRI and mCLASS:Tejas LEE support teaching and learning in classrooms and fuse validated indicators of reading development across pedagogical approaches in curricula and instruction. Wireless Generation professional services are tailored to meet the needs of teachers with practice activities organized around student data. Professional services engagements are centered around analyzing frequently collected formative assessment data to differentiate instruction (at the teacher level), improve instructional leadership (at the principal level), and make more effective support, curriculum, and resource decisions (at the administrator level). |
| Incorporate teacher education, professional development, and curriculum development and how the state will work to ensure that teachers and principals receiving funds under this part are technologically literate |
mCLASS:TPRI and mCLASS:Tejas LEE utilize handheld-to-Web technology, progress monitoring, and real-time Web reporting and analysis to help educators make informed instructional decisions for individual students, small groups, and whole classes through a streamlined and accurate formative assessment tool. In Wireless Generation’s professional services offerings, teachers use realtime student data as provided in online reports to learn how to identify student strengths and weaknesses and discover how to differentiate instruction accordingly. They also learn to use progress monitoring data to refine small groups and continue to target instruction appropriately. Principals and other leaders learn how to access high-level reports and use data to make important instructional and managerial decisions—promoting an important cultural shift in the school. |
