Handheld-to-Web Technology

As the pioneer in developing handheld software for use in giving formative assessments, we deliver reliable, supported technology that has been proven to work at scale. Teachers use handheld devices to administer mCLASS assessments. Syncing the handheld securely transfers assessment data from the handheld to the Web. Our Web sites, mCLASS Home (for teachers and coaches) and mCLASS:Direct (for administrators), provide timely, easy-to-use Web and print reports.

Progress Monitoring

Progress Monitoring enables continuous assessment of students, creating a continuous feedback loop that helps each teacher tailor instruction to class needs. Most assessment measures offer many alternate forms so that they can be repeated as often as necessary without any repetition of content. Results from Progress Monitoring are immediately available to inform instruction and intervention.

Facilitated Instruction

mCLASS assessments keep teachers at the center of instructional decision-making. The ACT feature allows teachers to receive recommended activities on the handheld immediately after assessment. mCLASS: DIBELS Now What? Tools provide assessment item analysis, suggest student groupings based upon data, and produce letters to parents that clearly explain assessments and data, and suggest reinforcement activities to do at home.

Streamlining of Assessment Administration

The handheld software guides the teacher, making the assessment process easy and accurate. Rather than juggling an assessment manual, stopwatch, scoring sheet, pencil, and student materials, teachers can concentrate on the student's performance during the assessment. This approach to assessment is student-friendly (students are interested and curious about the handheld devices!), builds consistency across assessment administration, ensures accuracy, and streamlines a cumbersome process.

Instructional Time Savings

We help teachers reclaim precious time previously spent giving and scoring paper assessments, and doing related paperwork for school and district reporting And because results are delivered immediately, teachers and administrators can make instructional and leadership decisions that address children's needs at that exact point in the school year - not three weeks or a month later.

All mCLASS solutions are SIF-certified and seamlessly integrate with most other data-critical applications used in school districts.
