The Teacher Edition: Revolutionizing Assessment

TEACHER EDITION

"One common element of successful high school instruction is teachers' use of rich data on student performance to make informed decisions about practice."
        Bob Wise

Literary Companion® alters, in a subtly profound way, how teachers approach literature instruction and assessment.

Its Teacher Edition achieves this end by leveraging the capabilities and efficiencies of Web-based technology:

  • Its intuitive functionality is user-friendly; no formal training is required.
     
  • All student performance is tracked and assessed.
     
  • Vocabulary and reading-comprehension exercises and assessments are administered and scored automatically.
     
  • Teachers grade students’ writing using built-in rubrics, and all writing is automatically archived.
     
  • Each title features end-of-unit assessments in all three skill areas.
     
  • Because LC is accessible from any online computer, teachers can assign it as an in-class activity or for homework.

As a result, LC provides teachers with the freedom to devote more of their time to improving writing and enhancing classroom activities—while giving them access to the data they need to differentiate instruction.
