CP's games track "assessment for learning," rather than "assessment of learning" as in most standardized tests. When a child completes a task incorrectly, the game provides a series of follow-up activities to pinpoint why the child answered that way. Results generated for each child, classroom, and across district. Also of note: CP is a joint venture of Columbia Univ. Business & Education staff

As students use new modalities to communicate their learning and express their understanding, you need new ways to plan for and assess their work and help them showcase it. Use these three guides to learn how to: Help students create personalized, media-rich PDF portfolios of their coursework; Make use of the commenting and reviewing tools to digitally assess coursework; Streamline lesson planning

Abstract  Dynamic/interactive assessment (DA) has been motivated by
the inadequacy of conventional static tests to provide accurate
information about the individual's learning ability, specific deficient
functions, change processes, and mediational strategies that are
responsible for cognitive modifiability. A growing need for DA with
young children has emerged recently because decisions about treatment
should be made as early as possible. The objectives of this paper are to
review the major criticism of the standardized static testing approach,
present the theoretical basis of the DA approach, describe current
research on DA of young children within educational and intervention
perspectives, and suggest some directions for future research. The
theoretical foundations of the presented research derive from Vygotsky's
sociocultural theory, specifically the zone of proximal development
concept, and Feuerstein's mediated learning experience theory. DA has
been applied with different clinical and educational groups and was
found to be more accurate in reflecting children's learning potential than
static tests, especially with minority and learning disabled children. The
mediational strategy is also reported as more effective than other
intervention approaches (e.g., graduated prompt). The DA approach was
found useful in assessing outcome effects of cognitive education
programs aimed at enhancing learning how to learn skills. Crucial issues
of cost-effectiveness, training, reliability and validity, and generalization
are discussed.
