SYSTEM 44 DELIVERS
System 44 contains a suite of tools to efficiently screen, place, and monitor students’ progress through the program. To ensure that students are placed in the program at the appropriate level, System 44 includes the HMH Phonics Inventory. This is a computerized, research-based, and validated assessment that should be administered to any student who receives a Lexile measure (L) between BR and 400L–600L on the HMH Reading Inventory. In cases where elementary students score above 400L or secondary students score above 600L on HMH Reading Inventory, placement into READ 180 is recommended. Used together, these resources help build capacity while maximizing student growth potential.
Using various discrimination tasks, HMH Phonics Inventory determines whether or not the root cause of reading difficulty is an inability to decode and identifies the appropriate point of entry for each student in the program’s continuum of phonics instruction. HMH Phonics Inventory also provides important information to teachers to inform direct, data-driven instruction in Small-Group differentiated rotations. HMH Phonics Inventory is highly reliable and validated against the Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE) and Woodcock Johnson III; it can be group administered in approximately 10 minutes. Through ongoing assessments, HMH Reading Inventory and HMH Phonics Inventory can be used throughout the year to continue monitoring student progress and differentiating instruction as needed.
Additional tools and resources, such as the educator Dashboards, help develop and maximize human capital. Accessible anywhere an Internet connection is available, the new Teacher Dashboard highlights the most important student performance data and allows teachers to use data to plan and differentiate instruction. Teachers have access to daily customizable lesson plans, and an at-a-glance summary of each day’s lesson, thereby ensuring they are delivering targeted instruction at the class, group, and student levels. The Report Scheduler allows teachers to schedule best practice reports on a customizable schedule. In addition to using data-snapshots to monitor class performance, teachers can also opt in to be notified when students meet specified performance thresholds or alerted when implementation factors like time-on-task require their attention.
In SAM, educators can access nine actionable reports about student progress, such as the Screening and Placement Report and Student Mastery Report, to determine the response to intervention for each student. In addition, these reports link to relevant resources for differentiating instruction. The System 44 Software helps teachers identify holes in students’ knowledge so that these skills can be reinforced through direct instruction. In-person training services, teacher resources, and instructional manuals further support teachers as they continue to monitor student progress from placement through the end of the school year.
System 44 ’s diagnostic assessment and reporting tools also provide students with individualized pacing and a sense of ownership over their learning. Fast-Track assessments in the Software check mastery of skills, accelerating students to the next appropriate instructional level to maximize success and instructional time.
