Accurate assessment of student skills according to today's standards.

How I Use It

I found Front Row when I was looking for an alternative to the Brigance test that I was told I had to use with EVERY student even though it is not an accurate representation of their skill set. I immediately fell in love with Front Row because it gave an accurate grade level equivalency of students skills and leveled remediation tasks accordingly. I used the free version exclusively and they only thing that annoys me is that I can only set one assignment regardless of how many classes I set up. So, I have to put all my students in the same class in order to give them an assignment. If you don't care about setting up assignments, you can have students work on their own. You get weekly progress reports sent to your email which is uber convenient. I have not used their ELA content, but looked at a couple of their reading assignments and saw some I could use in my math class (Ada Lovelace anyone). My students are always curious about what their grade level is after completing assignments. Unfortunately, they have to either test out of or complete all of the K-5 material before they reach a 6th grade level. I use it as motivation though, because none of them want to be at a 3rd grade level which is where most of them test.
