Mississippi middle schoolers who met Classworks recommended usage guidelines experienced measurable growth across all grade levels on both the Classworks Reading and Math assessments from the Fall to Winter period! Their success is in stark contrast to students in the same grades who did not meet Classworks recommended usage and saw a sharp decline on both assessments across all grade levels.

With ESSA requiring evidence-based data, it’s important to know what to look for when examining research. Before paying attention to the statistical results or differences in growth (the stuff we see advertised), you should understand the research design. A poorly designed study will produce meaningless results.

The MS Office of Intervention Services approved Classworks as an Evidence-based Academic Intervention. Classworks is listed on the state's Evidence-based Academic Intervention list.

Classworks Universal Screener assessments predict student achievement on several summative assessments.

Classworks Progress Monitoring is online assessment and reporting to easily monitor a student's intervention and make real-time adjustments. This paper breaks down the purpose of progress monitoring and how it works from beginning to end.

To support educators with the shifts in math teaching, Classworks developed math problem-solving activities for grades K-8. Activities are designed to build conceptual understanding and facilitate productive struggle.

Classworks Classroom Reading is designed to help students reach high levels of reading, writing, and communication achievement. Read the rationale behind the development of these rigorous reading activities.

In the Spring of 2016 Classworks conducted a study about the effectiveness of newly released Applied Mathematics. The data was analyzed in its entirety.

Independent study. During the 2014-2015 school year, SEG Measurement, an independent research organization, conducted an efficacy study of the ClassworksIntegrated Reading Activities. A link to the full study is included in the overview.

Independent study. This study investigates the impact of adaptive learning, research-based methods and sound pedagogy on mathematics achievement on Georgia’s high stakes test.

Independent study. Dr. DeAnna Owens, Assistant Professor of Elementary Education at the University of Memphis, provides research on the effectiveness of implementing Classworks to close the achievement gap, ensuring learning at a deeper level, and supporting teachers.

Sound instructional design and best practices in education are the basis for Classworks. Independent studies and curriculum reviews confirm the research-proven design underlying Classworks structure.

Independent study. Research conducted by The University of Oregan Institute for the Development of Educational Achievement. Using “A Consumer’s Guide to Evaluating a Core Reading Program Grades K-3: A Critical Elements Analysis."

Independent Study. A research study evaluating Classworks instructional design, conducted by Interactive Educational Systems Design (IESD), Inc., an independent educational technology consulting firm.

Independent study. This study examines the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in the classroom. Classworks increased student achievement in math and impacted teachers’ attitude toward computer-assisted instruction.

Classworks Summative Benchmark assessments monitor student achievement of grade-level progress during the course of the school year and assess outcomes at the conclusion of the year.

Independent study. This study was designed to determine the fiscal adequacy ranges the state of Rhode Island should consider in order to provide every child in the state with an adequate opportunity to meet high educational standards.

Independent study. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of computer-assisted instruction on the performance in math among low achieving third through fifth grade economically disadvantaged students. The primary means of intervention for this group of students was Classworks.

Independent study. This study described the effectiveness of using Classworks as a means to increase reading achievement as a supplement to the regular reading program in a school.

This study examines the perceptions that students receiving special education services have regarding the effectiveness of Classworks in helping them gain equity in the general education math classroom.

Independent study. This study focuses on the evaluation of Classworks and the extent of the program’s effectiveness in improving academic achievement in math.

The Classworks Universal Screener measures readiness for grade-level instruction, identifies baseline learning levels, and measures growth. The assessments have been evaluated by the National Center for Response to Intervention (NCRTI), and they received the highest reliability ranking.

The Classworks Tiered Instructional Model includes instruction, interventions, and assessment for each phase of the Response to Intervention (RtI) process. Classworks combines valid assessments with a rich curriculum that can be individualized to meet the needs of every student, integrated under a single teacher interface.

A new study analyzed the performance of students using Classworks, from the 2018-2019 school year, on NWEA™ MAP Growth®, Scantron® Performance Series®, and Renaissance® Star® assessments. Students who used Classworks exceeded the national growth norms and outperformed their peers!

In a recent study, students using Classworks experienced substantial growth in BOTH reading and mathematics in grades 1-8. The Classworks study examined the impact of Classworks tiered intervention program on Renaissance® Star Reading and Math Assessment scores from fall 2019 to winter 2020.

What is the Classworks Learning Progression and how is it used to determine the order of instruction for student? This quick overview explains the design of the learning progression and how it determines the order students progress through Classworks instruction.

Classworks Progress Monitoring is online assessment and reporting to easily monitor a student's intervention and make real-time adjustments. This whitepaper explains the validity and reliability of Classworks Reading and Math Progress Monitoring assessments.

Independent review - ESSA Tier 2. Classworks has been accepted into Baltimore City's ESSA Evidence Catalog as Tier 2: Moderate Evidence: which means it is supported by one or more well-designed and well-implemented quasi-experimental studies.
