Accelerate Measurable Skill Gains on CASAS GOALS
ESSENTIALS CASAS WORKBOOKS OVERVIEW
Our Essentials CASAS Workbooks combine two key instructional strategies needed for success: print and digital learning. Aligned to CASAS GOALS assessment standards, each workbook in this nine-title series contains over 100 practice activities, two full-length practice tests, and powerful embedded video instruction. A built-in Learning Management System (LMS) gives teachers the diagnostic data needed to determine readiness and pinpoint instruction for each student.
Nine titles cover:
- CASAS Math GOALS Levels A, B, C, D, and E
- CASAS Reading GOALS Levels B, C, D, and E
EFFECTIVE WORKBOOK INSTRUCTION
Each lesson in our Essentials CASAS Workbooks series uses a simple 3-step approach to help students learn faster and more effectively.
- Connect: Each lesson starts by connecting a specific concept to a real-life situation, so students understand why they're learning what they're learning.
- Explain: Once the concept has been presented in an easy-to-understand manner, it is then explained in detail.
- Practice: Each lesson ends with a set of practice questions to be sure the student fully understands what they just learned.
POWERFUL MOBILE LESSONS
Through QR codes, students are seamlessly connected to Virtual Tutor video instruction using their smartphone or tablet. The virtual tutor video instruction provides access to online lessons and practice tests.
Each lesson is interactive and fun and provides instant feedback, always explaining the correct answer. This combination of print and mobile learning creates a powerful tool to help accelerate student gains on their CASAS GOALS assessments.
DIAGNOSTIC DATA FOR TEACHERS
Never before has it been possible to get critical diagnostic data from print material. Using our built-in Learning Management System, teachers can run a report giving them much-needed data to determine readiness and pinpoint instructional strategies for each student.
In one easy-to-read report, teachers can see:
- student learning time
- which lessons have been opened
- number of quizzes passed
- practice test results
