Getting a Strong Start to the New Semester with ASSISTments.
ASSISTments Was Developed With Learning Science Principles At Its Core, And We’re Obsessed With Increasing Student Learning With Methods Proven To Work.
An experiment conducted by SRI International to test ASSISTments’ efficacy showed 75% more learning in classrooms using ASSISTments when compared to the learning that normally happens in a year. The experiment randomized schools to either use ASSISTments or continue their regular methods.
There were three findings: first, teachers who used ASSISTments reliably changed their classroom practices; second, students reliably scored higher on a standardized test; third, ASSISTments began to close the achievement gap: students below the median on the prior year test learned an equivalent of two years of math in a single year.
