Discover the aimswebPlus Assessment Cycle

As your district prepares students to achieve their end-of-year goals, you’re probably overwhelmed by all the preparation tools available. Students in need of additional support require frequent monitoring, while other students benefit from a few benchmarking assessments—or screenings—throughout the school year. What schedule and tools should you use to meet every student’s needs while running an efficient classroom?

And while Olivia isn't the name of an actual child we can track, she does represent the hundreds of thousands of students who are helped by aimsweb each year.

What is the best way to get the power of aimswebPlus across? By telling the story of how it is used in the classroom. While I can’t tell the story of one specific student, this is the story of many students. Over the last year, I've spent a lot of time talking with educators to build a better aimsweb – aimswebPlus.

When you arrive to school each morning, you know that your success lies in the success of your students. The daunting goal of every teacher is to provide students with instruction that targets their unique needs.
