Navvy virtual event: A fresh approach to formative assessment
Join us for a virtual showcase of Pearson’s innovative classroom assessment system and see for yourself how Navvy helps K–12 educators successfully navigate and advance student progress on required learning objectives.
This 30-minute virtual event will be of interest to K–12 teachers, school and district leaders, and assessment leaders.
During the interactive session, you will learn about:
- Learning maps: Assess one standard at a time or in combinations and receive guidance about next steps for students along the way.
- Competency checks: Get accurate standard competency diagnoses with concise as possible assessments. Short, valid, pre-built assessments contain 6–8 questions, with a tailored mix of DOK level 1, 2, and 3 questions that best represent a given standard.
- Quick checks: Use pre-built, non-secure questions for practice, review, and class activities. There are flexible pools of practice questions target each standard.
- Teacher dashboard: Receive immediate, actionable, standards-level feedback to focus on the exact areas for which students need support. Clearly identify which students have the same need and create groupings for personalized instruction based on competency diagnoses.
- Student dashboard: For each standard, students have multiple opportunities to succeed, allowing for personalized pacing and celebrations of learning as it occurs. This research-backed, proprietary method empowers students to own their learning journey.
