March

Women’s History Month is here! Take a moment to reflect on important women from past and present. We encourage you to use this Women’s History Month poster and virtual background to celebrate the women highlighted in the Amplify curriculum.

Assessment Importer tool

The Assessment Importer tool has been expanded to allow educators to upload DIBELS® 8th Edition benchmark results that were created outside of the mCLASS® application into the Amplify system. Educators using Acadience Reading (formerly DIBELS Next) can continue to use the Assessment Importer tool as they always have. For both assessments, if you have System Level access, log in to mCLASS Home, click the Admin button, and then click the Import button. From the Import page, download and review the Help guide and CSV template and then enter the results you wish to upload into the downloaded template.

Summer Reading Accelerator

We’ve developed a Summer Reading Accelerator 2021 program built on the science of reading and designed to catch kids up from pandemic-related instructional loss. Our summer program includes Amplify Reading and Amplify CKLA and guidance on how to leverage with mCLASS. View the options available for you to boost students’ skills this summer.

Catch struggling readers up with a new, fully online literacy solution from mCLASS.

mCLASS Express is a new rapid online tool for grades 3–6 that cuts through the challenges of intervening with off-grade-level readers and accurately pinpoints foundational skills gaps for students reading in upper elementary school. Learn more here.

Tracy goes above and beyond to test and progress monitor all students K-5 for Benchmark and to progress monitor. She runs trainings for her staff on how to use the data to drive and differentiate instruction, allowing for the teachers to fluidly move from Tier 1 to Tier 2 instruction. She understands the value of using the resources like Amplify and takes the time to ensure each student is logging in regularly to increase reading skills. She uses mCLASS in so many ways not only to make a difference on her own students, but also to positively impact her school community.
