Post-Pandemic Acceleration

Core5 Accelerates Post-Pandemic Learning

RAND Corporation, an independent, non-profit research organization, recently evaluated Core5’s effect on accelerating reading gains post-pandemic school closings. The study tracked and gauged students’ progress against the NWEA’s Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP) Growth Reading assessment, which measures grade-level reading achievement and growth.

The new research study found: 

• 54% of all Core5 students outperformed the comparison group’s median achievement on spring reading assessments. 
• All students, by grade level and by sub-group, accelerated faster than comparison groups. 
• Even the lowest-performing students on the fall MAP assessment who met the usage targets experienced substantial gains. 
• RAND researchers also stated they saw the potential that the accumulated benefits over multiple years of Core5 usage could be substantial.
