New feature: dyslexia risk indicator for mCLASS Lectura

mCLASS Classroom Reporting now has a risk indicator for mCLASS Lectura Spanish assessments, which flags students who might be at additional risk for reading difficulties, including difficulty related to dyslexia. Learn more about the criteria for assessing risk and the research rationale.

Advice and answers

Zones of Growth

January is the perfect time to check the Goal Setting tab on the Progress Monitoring page in mCLASS. Here you can see the growth students need to achieve by the next benchmark period to reach the end-of-year goal. Read more about Zones of Growth and how to modify goals!

Growth Outcomes report

The Growth Outcomes report gives an at-a-glance view of what growth level students achieved and how it compares to their goal. We recommend reviewing this report twice a year, after middle-of-year and end-of-year benchmark testing is complete.
