The Significance and Science of Prediction What if we could accurately assess what students know, use the assessment data to predict student performance on standardized tests A standardized test is a test administered and scored in a standard manner. The tests are designed in such a way that the "questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent" [1] , deliver the appropriate prescriptive pre·scrip·tive adj. 1.

The good news is that most districts already collect and manage data used as the assessment foundation for standards-aligned digital learning solutions. By implementing the proper solution, you could fully utilize that information to close the "instruct-assess-predict-report" cycle and maximize your students' achievement. Connecting Prediction to Intervention Pearson Digital Learning offers K-12 solutions to help you achieve these objectives. With Waterford[TM], SuccessMaker[R], and NovaNET[R], you can integrate comprehensive reporting with standards-aligned, research-based prescriptive instruction, completing the cycle and supporting the needs for all students. What You Gain By pooling the data from hundreds of thousands of students, Pearson Digital Learning has developed methods for painting a highly accurate statistical picture to not only predict how a student will perform on a test today, but also plan for how long it will take him or her to achieve a given performance level in the future. Maximizing student success and meeting accountability requirements are not mutually exclusive Adj. 1. mutually exclusive - unable to be both true at the same time contradictory incompatible - not compatible; "incompatible personalities"; "incompatible colors" . With the latest technology-based learning solutions--such as Waterford[TM], SuccessMaker[R], KnowledgeBox[R] and NovaNET[R]--you can do both. Bringing together the expertise of educators and the power of technology to predict performance and target instruction enables you to positively influence your students' present and future success.
