Have you ever wanted to individualize your student's learning but have been overwhelmed by generating and analyzing the data? Edify, an individualized learning management systems (iLMS), helps teachers individualize instruction by providing real time data with the click of a button. Teachers are now able to easily track the performance of individual students or classes by strands and standards. This allows teachers to truly individualize instruction so that students may reach their learning targets. Join us on Monday, April 13 from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM for a live webinar event where Dan Hoekstra, a science teacher at Grand Rapids Christian High School, will share his experience with Edify at the high school level. Dan will show how he has used Edify in his chemistry class to both host resources and generate data. He will include how Edify can generate data through pre-tests, lesson assessments and summative post-tests and will provide a demonstration of the different reports that can easily be created. By the end of this webinar attendees will have a strong understanding of how Edify can painlessly provide real time student data that can be used to individual student learning. While this webinar focuses on the high school level, middle school educators are encouraged to to attend. Many of the reports shared will be applicable to any grade level that focuses on standards.

3. Today’s Agenda
● Who I Am
● Why Generate Data?
● How Edify Can Help
● Perspectives:
o Student
o Parent
o Teacher
● Q & A
Note: None of the data presented
in today webinar is actual student
data. It has been generated
specifically for this presentation.

4. Who Am I?
● Grand Rapids Christian High School
o Science Teacher
o XC & Track Assistant Coach
● I have recently become very interested
in learning how technology can
enhance and personalize my students
learning.

5. Why Generate Data?
● Allows the STUDENT to specifically
identify what they don’t know.
● Allows the PARENT to help guide their
child’s learning.
● Allows the TEACHER to Personalize the
learning for each of their students.

6. How Edify Can Help
● All assessment items are tagged with
standards.
o Assessment items can be used for pre-
tests, lesson (formative) assessments,
and summative post-assessments.
o Data is reported in real time.
o Teachers can filter reports by student,
class, assessment, standard, etc.

7. How Edify Can Help
● Resources are also tagged with standards
o Resources for students are automatically
selected based on their performance.
 Called Recommended Resources
o Students, Parents and Teachers can all
see these recommended resources.
o These resources can be used for very
specific studying, reinforcement,
remediation, etc.

8. The Student’s
Perspective

9. The Student’s Perspective
● Data allows the Student to specifically
identify what they know and what they
don’t know.
o Studying can be simplified by focusing on
the standards that have not been mastered.
o “Recommended Resources” provide specific
practice to help master a standard.
o No more guessing about what to study!

10. The Parent’s Perspective
Not actual student data

11. The Parent’s Perspective
● Data allows the Parent to help guide
their child without guessing what has
been taught.
o Parent and student can have meaningful
discussions about the student’s
performance and how to improve.
o Parent can easily help to guide their
child by pointing out areas (standards) of
weakness.

12. The Teacher’s Perspective
Not actual student data

13. The Teacher’s Perspective
● Data allows the Teacher to Identify
o A class that already knows it (pre-test)
o A class that still doesn’t know it (before
or after a post-test)
o Students who already know it (pre-test)
o Students who still don’t know it (before
or after a post-test)
o Improvement/Progress
o Poor test questions (Item Analysis)
