Coming Soon
The Innovation Continues!
and reporting solutions to improve learning for all children in
your classrooms. Here's a quick look at just a few of the exciting
products and new features we've been developing:
Parent Reports
There is indisputable evidence that when parents are involved in their children’s education at home (especially during the early years), children do better in school. We are developing a parent report component for the Children's Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) to give schools the opportunity to provide parents with valuable information about their child’s learning - and, more importantly, with instructional activities to try with the child at home. We believe that parent reports, when distributed appropriately by teachers, can be a valuable additional component of a child's education.
This new feature has been piloted in schools since fall 2008. An updated version of these reports (enriched by teacher feedback) is now available as a BETA version to all current clients. If you are interested in trying this new feature at your site, please contact customer service at info@childrensprogress.com.

Interactive Instructional Activities
The Children's Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) delivers targeted recommended activities that are meant to be administered by a teacher. We’re now developing independently completed computer-based instructional activities tailored to address each child’s needs. For example, if a child is confusing addition for subtraction (e.g., 3-2=5), a tailored computer tutorial will be delivered to that child. If a child is simply combining the numbers to come up with an answer (e.g., 3-2=32), the child will view a different tutorial. Children will be engaged in a virtual environment where they will be able to interact in a virtual schoolhouse populated with classrooms of custom-designed tutorials.
This project is currently in the development phase, undergoing pilot testing in several schools nation-wide.
Sensory Screener
Vision and hearing deficits often go undetected in young children, and unfortunately can have an extremely negative impact on learning and development. Our sensory screener will check for potential deficits in visual acuity, color vision and hearing. The screener will be independently completed by children in PK - Grade 3 - saving teachers and school nurses time and providing valuable information. This data about children's physical development will be fully integrated with our academic assessments. With the help of this screener, a teacher will be able to quickly identify whether a learning difficulty can be attributed to a possible hearing or vision deficit.
