There is a crisis brewing in schools throughout the world as the realities of educating students during the COVID-19 pandemic become evident. In fact, the United Nations estimates that 94% of the world’s students had their education affected by the pandemic. With schools forced to attempt a quick pivot to online instruction, and students and teachers having to learn to navigate new online learning tools, it is not surprising that there was devastating learning loss suffered by students across the globe.
As schools return to in-person instruction it is now the job of already overworked educators to try to make up for this learning gap. How do you know what problems to attack? How do you know where your students’ knowledge matches up against their grade-level expectations? The obvious answer is to assess their knowledge and find the areas where they need help. While it is possible to do large-scale assessments of all your students, it is often the case that a series of short, targeted assessments delivered by those tasked with “filling the gaps” will lead to the best combination of discovering the hot spots and being able to address them.
This is where Remark Test Grading can help. Remark Test Grading is an easy-to-use tool that allows your instructors to design and print their own tests and assessments. Tests can be printed on inexpensive copy paper locally and scanned with any scanner. The instructor gains instant and comprehensive insight into student and class achievement on the assessment. By associating test questions with learning objectives, the reports provide detail on how your class and students are meeting these objectives. Remark provides teachers with information they can use to tailor their instruction in order to address deficiencies within the class or with individual students.
Remark Test Grading is a cost-effective, hosted solution. It will not burden your IT team as there is no software to install and update. It can be integrated with popular Learning Management Systems. And, it leaves you in charge of your data.
The first step to solving a problem is to recognize there is an issue. Remark Test Grading can play an important part in helping your school, teachers, and students discover the problems and begin the process of recovering from them.
Getting our students back to where they were before the pandemic will take time, and ingenuity. We know this because we are already in schools across the country that are attempting to tackle this problem head on!
