What is next at Skoodat?
Stay tuned, but here are some insights into where our current roadmap will take your school.
Curriculum and Instruction
Every stakeholder in your learning community should understand what must be taught and be able to track progress in every subject and grade level. Skoodat Curriculum and Instruction apps will help you ensure that every student is prepared for each subsequent level of learning. Completely integrated to Skoodat Foundation Edition, all Curriculum and Instruction apps will make it easy for educators to link standards to schedules and instructional units. Skoodat tools will help each school, district and state establish a scope-and-sequence curriculum that is flexible enough for creativity in the classroom, yet structured enough for measuring performance against standards and AYP goals.
Assessments and Rubrics
Formative assessments are critical to an effective Curriculum and Instruction system. Summative, after-the-fact assessments may help with understanding the big picture, but not until after students have already advanced to the next grade or dropped out. Formative assessments, on the other hand, help inform real-world, real-time practice by giving a teacher or parent instant feedback on learning mastery — enabling fast intervention in the learning life of students before they fall behind. By fully integrating formative assessment practices into the Skoodat platform, performance data can be served up to each stakeholder in meaningful ways as soon as it is input.
Real-time Longitudinal Analysis
The power of data is in how you use it. Skoodat creates a two-way information autobahn, making data useful to unleash its power for all. In the past, schools had to collect and push data to their district office, and districts had to push the data to their states. Once the data left the building, it rarely came back. In fact, some leading software companies still require schools to purge their data each semester or school year. When schools want to use past data, they must beg or pay their vendor to gain access. That’s just crazy. Skoodat makes all your data accessible in real-time, to every stakeholder, based on role and security clearances. Multiyear data analysis is simple and easy, with complete drill-down capabilities. So instead of spending money to warehouse data that doesn’t get used in classrooms, educators and legislators alike can start using longitudinal data in meaningful ways without all the fuss.
Online Learning Delivery
Distance learning has morphed many times over the past 50 years, from correspondence courses through the mail to online courses through the Web. Online learning is about more than content delivery. Online learning should be about engaging each student more deeply in a blended learning environment that meets specific needs and goals, with teachers and parents serving as mentor coaches to guide them along the way. Few tools exist to foster this kind of community interaction. No tools exist that integrate the online learning environment with an ecosystem of other education applications on a cloud platform built for open innovation. Skoodat’s online delivery apps will be ready and set. Go.
Professional Development
Just as every student should have a learning path, so too should every educator. Learning never stops. Skoodat professional development apps will link each educator’s chosen career trajectory to a clear path of skills mastery, content mastery and certifications. Schools that leverage Skoodat professional development apps will also be able to track the impact of educator development on student learning, because everything is integrated on one cloud-based platform for education.
