Mastery Checks and Assessments Help Students Recall Knowledge!
ScootPad is dedicated to helping teachers teach smarter and not harder! To that end, we kicked off the school year sharing how your classroom can get started with Diagnostic Mode and Adaptive Practice. This helps REINFORCE the skills you are teaching. Next, we shared how automatic REMEDIATION detects and fills all knowledge gaps. Now, let's discuss 2 ways ScootPad helps students RECALL what they have been taught and are practicing.
Automatic Remediation detects and fills ALL knowledge gaps
Once Diagnostic Mode ends, students are automatically ushered into Practice Mode within their Learning Paths.
