Learning Through Assessment

Carnegie Learning Guiding Principle:

Knowledge emerges over time.

What that means for students:

Students need to develop the ability to evaluate themselves, make judgments about their performance, and improve over time.

What that means for teachers:

Carnegie Learning empowers teachers with a cadre of analog and AI-powered digital tools.

Analog tools	AI-Powered Digital Tools
MATHbook	MATHia
Skills Practice	LiveHint
Summative Assessments

What Carnegie Learning offers:

A system that provides students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and reflect on their own learning.
Assessments that provide insights throughout the learning experience so teachers can make real-time adjustments and plan next steps.
Embedded ongoing formative assessments providing learning insights that drive the instructional process.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS

CHECK STUDENT READINESS

Before starting a new module, gain insight into student strengths and anticipate student learning by collecting data using the ReadyCheck Assessments and Getting Ready resources at the beginning of each module.

Tools for Checking Readiness
Resource	Student Responsibilities	Teacher Responsibilities
MATHia ReadyCheck Assessments	Answer each question honestly. No guessing on questions as that may give your teacher inaccurate data.	The scoring guide informs student instructional strengths and re-engagement opportunities.. Students can only see the total score percentage, any additional information must be shared by the teacher.
Getting Ready	Use this section to re-engage with skills. Ask their teachers for access to corresponding workspaces in MATHia.	Provide students with more practice to re-engage skills by providing access to corresponding workspaces in MATHia, including MATHia Readiness Modules.

MONITOR STUDENT LEARNING

The resources interwoven throughout the pages of each lesson provide support for monitoring student progress in the moment. Use these tools to gauge and respond to student understanding as you progress through the lesson.

Tools for Monitoring Learning
Resource	Student Responsibilities	Teacher Responsibilities
Lesson Overview	Review the Learning Goals. Complete the Review and determine what your strengths are.	Connect the statement to prior knowledge and the question to new learning. Use the review to re-engage students with pre-requisite skills and identify student strengths.
MATHia	Use the self-help tools as needed to take ownership of learning. Think about how each workspace connects to what they are learning in MATHbook. Assess progress using the Skillometer and Progress Meter.	Remind students that mistakes are learning opportunities. Cultivate an environment where asking for help is a regular practice. Remind students to assess their progress using the Skillometer and Progress Meter. Monitor LiveLab for real-time recommendations on how to support student progress.
Questions to Support Discourse	Assess and monitor their ability to answer the questions and reflect on their own understanding.	Use the questions to assess students' sense-making and reasoning, to gauge what they know, and generate evidence of student learning.
Talk the Talk	Assess and Monitor their own understanding. Use teacher feedback to advance their understanding.	As students self-reflect during the Talk the Talk, interpret how well they have demonstrated the learning outcomes and prepare for what’s next.
LiveHint	As students complete Practice problems in the Assignment section of a Carnegie Learning textbook, they can obtain real-time hints through the TutorBot.	Model how to use LiveHint.

MEASURE STUDENT PERFORMANCE

Use these instructional tools to measure the amount of learning each of your students has acquired throughout the learning process.

Tools for Measuring Performance
Resource	Student Responsibilities	Teacher Responsibilities
MATHia Reports	Use the student dashboard in MATHia to monitor progress and request additional help/support if they find themselves falling too far behind. Connect MATHia progress to MATHbook alignment or sticker chart.	Use MATHia reports to group students and identify skills and standards that need additional support or re-engagement. Use MATHia reports to facilitate glows and grows conferences with students.
Summative Assessments	Initiate request for additional help if indicated from performance on the Summative Assessment.	Assess student learning using the End-of-Topic Test, Standardized Test, and/or Performance Tasks. Use Skills Practice to re-engage small groups of students with identified skills and standards that need additional support.
