Overview  

Early intervention is the key to success. Research has found that early identification of at-risk students leads to increased success both in and out of the classroom. With aimswebPlus, you can measure what matters — when it matters:

  • Meet accountability requirements
  • Uncover learning gaps faster and more accurately
  • Screen and monitor students in one seamless system
  • Track student progress for more effective instruction and interventions
  • Collect literacy data on your student population

 

Measure what matters

Integrated screenings

Benchmarking and monitoring

Scoring and reporting

Universal benchmarking

Universal benchmarking makes it possible to accurately measure student and classroom performance in reading and mathematics, and identify students at risk for dyslexia or behaviour concerns — all in a single class period. For most students, a battery of multiple brief measures is used for universal screening. These standards-based measures are designed to measure essential knowledge and skills as efficiently as possible. The multi-measure battery provides student and classroom profiles of strengths and weaknesses to tailor instruction to the needs of all students.

Benefits:

  • Manage the entire fall, winter, and spring assessment cycle
  • Identify students at risk for dyslexia or social-behavioural issues
  • Compare math and reading performance to grade level expectations
  • Build student and classroom profiles of strengths and weaknesses to tailor instruction

Progress monitoring

Because aimswebPlus measures are designed with sensitivity to detect change, the scores reflect progress that can occur over relatively short intervals. Progress monitoring enables more frequent assessment to track individualized goal growth, and documents each student’s response to instructional changes. CBM measures are quick to administer, simple to score, and are regularly delivered to provide continuous student progress data.

Benefits:

  • Brief, standardized, and reliable
  • Sensitive to growth that occurs over relatively short intervals
  • Available in multiple equivalent forms to reduce practice effects on retesting
  • Easy to administer and score, allowing it to be used accurately by a wide range of education professionals

Administration and scoring

Administration and scoring for aimswebPlus and Shaywitz DyslexiaScreen™ are securely completed and scored within the aimswebPlus platform in minutes. In kindergarten and first grade, students use printed test materials while teachers score the measures online. This can be done on almost any web-enabled device with a supported browser, including netbooks (e.g. Chromebook) and tablets. Students in grades 2–8 can take tests independently online using similar devices. Once assessment data is entered into the system, aimswebPlus reports the results immediately.

Benefits:

Quick, quality assessment of fundamental reading and math skills

Ecologically valid and developmentally appropriate assessments for K–1, and for Oral Reading Fluency at all grades

Online test administration for measures in grades 2–8

Digital record forms allow administration on a wide range of devices

Reporting

aimswebPlus provides comprehensive reporting for each screening and monitoring component. Each report highlights both performance and progress, enabling educators to make informed decisions about students and instruction. Reports include data for students, classrooms, grades, schools, and districts, as well as student norms at the national, state, and district level. Student reports can be generated in either HTML or PDF format, and can be filtered to display the precise data needed. The level of information available on each report is based on the user’s role and access level. Parent-friendly screening and progress monitoring results are also available.

Benefits:

  • Accurately identify at-risk students and learning gaps in key skill areas
  • Monitor and report individual and group growth, and group students based on instructional need
  • Support dual-discrepancy and special ed evaluations
  • Identify students at risk to not meet end-of-year grade level targets
  • Quickly evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for individuals and groups

Dyslexia screening

Our partnership with Shaywitz DyslexiaScreen™ puts the power of reliable and efficient dyslexia screenings directly into the hands of educators. The Shaywitz DyslexiaScreen offers an evidence-based, teacher-friendly observational rating scale for grades K–3. It is intended for mass screenings to sort students — those at risk and those not at risk for dyslexia — quickly. The data can be used to set direction for intervention and instructional planning for all students, and a ready-to-use handout gives parents and caregivers ideas for supporting at-risk students outside school. To get a closer look, see our dyslexia resources for educators.

Benefits:

  • Documentation of educator ratings and concerns that show evidence of dyslexia risk
  • Valid, norm-based student performance ratings that support educator observations
  • Multiple measures that support best practice in screening and assessment
  • Universally screen, identify risk, progress monitor, and report results in one seamless system
