Does your child’s homeschool curriculum cover all the required state standards?
How well, if at all, is your homeschooler retaining material?
What is the best assessment to measure this?
Meet Gaptify, an online diagnostic, adaptive and holistic assessment, designed to measure your students’ strengths and learning gaps in math, reading, and language arts.
Most national homeschool curriculum products cover certain standards that they consider to be ‘core.” Yet these core standards may not be aligned to the requirements of your state or district. Furthermore, homeschool curriculum companies have no regulation when it comes to calling their content “standards-based” or “core curriculum” and these products may fall short.
In 2010, National Common Core State Standards were released throughout the United States. While many states adopted these standards, some such as Texas and Virginia chose not to. Other states including Arizona and Indiana, originally agreed to this new curriculum before ultimately withdrawing.
The discrepancy among states and what they consider to be core curriculum, has resulted in vastly different standards throughout the country. This means that instead of having one universal standard, standardized tests are subject to each state’s own set of learning targets.
Criteria measured on standardized tests in Texas are significantly different from those assessed in California.
Gaptify is a diagnostic assessment designed to measure your students’ strengths and learning gaps in math, reading, and language arts. Traditional assessments focus on what students know and can do, and are limited in their abilities to define what academic strengths and gaps exist.
In addition, traditional academic tests assess a specific grade level, where Gaptify adapts to a student’s knowledge and provides easier or more challenging questions based on your student’s responses.
When students are identified as gifted, talented, or advanced, sometimes they are assumed to be strong in every academic area. Likewise, oftentimes these students aren’t challenged or given new opportunities to learn and grow academically.
By assessing their true ability and academic levels, parents and other stakeholders can have clarity into their student’s strengths or gaps.
A research-based, online assessment tool for today’s students.
Gaptify identifies specific skills and practices that individual students need to master in order to be proficient in their grade-level standards. The concise assessment adapts to the level of the tester and focuses on identifying both strengths and areas of concern.
Gaptify was developed in partnership with classroom teachers and education experts, and designed to be administered directly to students in grades K-12.
The tool captures valuable insights used to personalize an improvement plan specific to students’ individual needs. The learning plan enables students to make significant improvements not only in their understanding of, but also in their retention of critical concepts.
Our diagnostic assessment can be administered online, anytime and from anywhere, with most results available immediately. In fact, Gaptify remains one of the only assessments that can be administered remotely.
In addition to this swift turnaround, innovative technology captures valuable data to help educators develop a more robust, individualized learning plan for each student.
Gaptify adapts to the specific knowledge level of each tester, changing the difficulty of questions and reading passages based on tester responses.
As a result, Gaptify can pinpoint learning gaps and offer educators a stronger understanding of areas in which a student excels and areas in need of improvement through intervention.
Our reports are based solely on each student’s individual performance. Reports include the number of questions answered correctly, standards where a student displayed strength, and standards where a student needs to improve.
Some features only available on premium reports.
