Too often, formative assessments fail to pinpoint students' specific learning needs with enough precision.
At the same time, learning and intervention materials often lack validation for targeted purposes. The result? Schools invest time and resources into widely used learning materials that are unvetted for driving meaningful, precise growth—while missing the opportunity to use focused materials designed to foster standard-level mastery. This gap leaves significant learning potential unrealized and the promise of personalized learning unfulfilled.
In this webinar, Dr. Laine Bradshaw, leading researcher and designer of diagnostic formative assessment systems, will unpack:
Right now, much of the focus is on broad, one-size-fits-all programs that carry generalized ‘seals of approval’—rather than ensuring specific, vetted materials lead to meaningful learning. To make interventions truly effective, we need to refine how we define success. The real question isn’t just “Did scores go up?”, it’s “Did a student actually master the standard they were struggling with?”
Whether you're a teacher, leader, or someone curious about new innovations, this discussion invites you to explore how these measures can drive real-time learning, shaping both instruction and engagement for the benefit of all learners.
Join us for a bold conversation on precision, impact, and what it takes to truly move learning forward.
