How does DreamBox Learning continuous assessment and placement work?
One of the first lesson games played is a placement lesson, and there are numerous additional placement lessons through the product. Students usually won’t notice that a lesson is a placement lesson rather than a standard lesson, though they are marked with a star on the lesson icon. Placement lessons assess a student’s existing knowledge and place him/her at an appropriate place in our curriculum. Students who already know a particular concept, for example, will pass a placement lesson and then immediately skip over all the lesson games for that concept. In addition, DreamBox assesses every response, and makes immediate small adjustments in the difficulty or scope of a particular problem, the type of hints given, and the lesson sequence that follows. All of these individual adaptations help ensure effective learning for your child.
