ODYSSEYWARE

According to a recent article, Central Regional’s odyssey to help students pass tests, posted on APP.com, ODYSSEYWARE® has been chosen by the Central Regional School District to help high school juniors just below the “proficiency bubble” to pass the upcoming High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) test in March.

Before choosing ODYSSEYWARE, the district conducted trials, allowing 78 juniors to work with this media-rich curriculum for two weeks. The results were remarkable. Of the students who participated in the trials, 75% achieved a five to seven percent jump in their test scores.

The district’s leaders envision many different scenarios in which ODYSSEYWARE may provide solutions, including locating the learning gaps of individual students, supplemental instruction for homebound students, and for special education.

Louise Pesci, district curriculum advisor for Central, estimated that in an 11-period day, 330 students in the district could benefit from the program each day. With efficiency and effectiveness built in, the district can reap real rewards.
