Standards of Learning Assessment Resource – SOLAR®
diagnostic benchmark assessment system. SOLAR®
is an online pre- and post diagnostic benchmark testing system
that is providing results for schools and school districts
within months of use. Schools are seeing their pass rates
soar!! Numerous school sites using SOLAR® are
achieving 100% pass rates in content areas after one academic year of
use. In other words, EVERY CHILD PASSED the actual
Standards of Learning content area tests with teacher and
administrator use of the prescriptive data provided by the
powerful SOLAR® scoring and reporting system.
One principal announced that "... after using SOLAR®
for one year, our student pass percentage
rates were off the charts..." His school has been fully
accredited two years in a row and consistently meets AYP since
implementation of SOLAR®
.
The SOLAR® system is the first and only system on the
market that allows the combination of both online and
paper-based benchmark testing of students with rapid online
pin-pointing of the achievement gaps by standard of learning
content area, and/or content strand and/or Essential Skill(s)
division-wide, by school building, by classroom/homeroom and by
student. This system allowing school faculty and the
district to immediately execute SOLAR®
Individual Intervention Plans (SIIPs) for students by Essential
Skill gap. This powerful online testing tool provides the
benchmark author full control of benchmark test formulation
whether it is delivered online, or paper-based with the SOLAR®
automatically generated and pre-slugged answer scan sheets.
The author of the district/division benchmark assessment is able
to map the benchmark assessment to the nine (9) week school
division Pacing Guides/Lesson Plans (scope and sequence) by core
content area (i.e. English, Mathematics, Social Science/History,
Science), by strand and Essential Skills. Teachers and
administrators are able to pin-point the achievement gaps by
standard of learning content area, Essential Knowledge and Skill
with the SOLAR®
system. The SOLAR® Advanced Reporting Module
allows District/Division or Building Administrators and/or
teachers to pin-point achievement gaps by grade, classroom, by
gender and by specific sub-groups (ethnicity, LEP,
socio-economic) and by multiple sub-group combinations.
The school or central office staff software requirements are:
Internet Explorer 5.2 or higher and Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or
higher installed on all workstations that will access the
web-based SOLAR system. Meeting these software
requirements provides a teacher or administrator the ability to
generate a plethora of reports immediately after a division-wide
diagnostic benchmark assessment.
