P.E.R.T. Diagnostic Learning Pathways Math, Reading, Writing

P.E.R.T. Diagnostic Learning Pathways Goal Approach Measurement Provide learning opportunities for developmental students Promote students one developmental level Require proof of growth for level-promotion Identify strengths and weaknesses through PERT Diagnostics Activate Learning Pathways aligned with weaknesses Set a clear goal and a clear path to achievement Use media and interactivity to engage the learning process Let students set the learning sequence and learning pace Allow students to prove growth Make performance easy to understand

Pathway Learning Objects Text Highlight Students are asked to respond to a task by locating and identifying textual elements (words, sentences, paragraphs). Association (Drag-and-Drop) Students are asked to make associations between words, ideas, or syntactic or grammatical elements. Scored Short Answer Students are asked to type a word or phrase to respond to the task.

Pathway Learning Objects Formula Students are asked to respond to a task in mathematical language, including fractions, exponents, and square roots. Cloze Fill-in-the-Blank Students are asked to fill in one or more blanks within the context of an expression, equation, sentence, or paragraph. Cloze Multiple Choice Students are asked to make selections from lists of options in context to demonstrate comprehension-related skills and show logical connections between ideas.

Additional Content Elements Hints (the “how”) Provide students with information, direction, and/or guidance during the task (practice tasks only). Hints may contain text and/or media elements. Explanations (the “why”) Provide analysis and reasoning related to why responses are correct or incorrect, including rule-based explanations (practice tasks only). Explanations may contain text and/or media elements. Test Tools Students will have access to a four-function calculator.
