Free ACCESS
New mCLASS® Math field study
Free access to all-new mCLASS Math during 2024–25 for participating schools!
Research Opportunity
You have an exciting opportunity to participate in a study involving a new math assessment. If you want to be a part of strengthening our research-based mathematics screening and progress monitoring solution, reach out to us today!
The purpose of this study will be to collect evidence for the reliability and validity of the new assessment and to evaluate the quality of the items within the measure. This assessment has been built from the ground up to reflect the latest research on mathematics development.
Partner schools will have access to all mCLASS Math data collected during the field study and direct access to our Amplify team for feedback!
Participants
The study will be conducted with approximately 3,000 students in grades K–5 (approximately 500 students per grade level from districts nationwide). To participate, schools are required to contribute at least three grade levels and at least 30 students per grade.
