Fall Follow-Up (SHSU Grant)
ELPS for Math Academy
(4 options – select one)
“ASSESS, ANALYZE, ACT”
ASSESS the student’s knowledge with the preconfigured
benchmarks, mini-tests, or create your own tests.
ANALYZE the results quickly with the reports that are
generated by the program.
ACT accordingly-create lessons that directly effect
student achievement based on identified
deficiencies.
This screener will measure
algebra readiness:
