As schools and districts become increasingly accountable for raising student achievement, the need for high quality classroom diagnostic tools has become imperative. National and state testing results shared with classroom teachers on a yearly basis are insufficient for making strategic instructional decisions on a day to day basis. While many districts and schools have moved to “benchmark” or “interim” assessments, given on a more frequent basis (quarterly, semester, or 6-8 week intervals), the cumulative nature of such tests are wholly inadequate for measuring student mastery of individual content standards, and fail to provide student achievement data in a timely manner.

Focus on Learning

In order to successfully meet the demands of a changing educational environment, schools and districts must be prepared with the knowledge, skills and expertise to effectively adapt and transform their organizations.  As educational institutions, schools can no longer afford to ignore the challenge of preparing every student to be a successful participant in their own future.

The Focus on Learning program provides schools with an opportunity to acquire the tools and strategies of an adaptive organization, the resources to facilitate needed changes and the capacity to lead their institution into the 21st century.  Life Long Learning & Associates believes that by focusing on the teaching and learning process, schools and districts will become the highly effective institutions our communities have come to expect.
