Pearson Unleashes Tapestry
Another big announcement coming out of FETC this is year is the release of Pearson Tapestry. Combining multiple education solutions, including student portal, information systems and course management, into one apparatus.
Here are some of the features of this platform:
-Teachers, students and parents can now easily collaborate to track student progress, access course materials and focus on student achievement.
-Administrators are now able to quickly identify and measure student performance across classrooms, across the district, and even across the state, and take action to improve outcomes and report progress.
-The single platform means that educators now have only one point of contact, instead of having to deal with multiple providers for their needs.
-Teachers are able to immediately access student assessment results against standards and make adjustments to personalize their curriculum to student needs.
-Students are able to track their own progress and have one-click access to their course materials.
Parents are able to follow their children’s progress throughout the school year, not just at the end of a grading period.
A big theme this year has been devices that help track student responses and help teachers gather information about their students progress in real time. In a time where standardized testing is paramount, these tools should prove to be helpful adjusting lessons to better engage our students. Another question remains however: Can school districts commit to these advancements and when will the be implemented? Okay that was two, but you get my point.
