We had a virtual open house last week and I appreciate the level of questions being asked. I LOVE questions because it gives me insights into what families want and need to make the right choice for their children so the more questions the better!!!
📘 FAQ of the Week: How Do We Measure Student Academic Progress at THINK360 Academy?
At THINK360 Academy, one of the most common questions we hear from families is: “How will you know how my child is doing academically?”
We’re excited to share how we approach this with care, thoughtfulness, and a deep commitment to personalized learning.
💡 In a nutshell:
We regularly assess student learning to ensure each child is on a path that’s right for them—challenging, engaging, and tailored to their needs.
🧭 A Closer Look at Our Approach:
When a student joins THINK360, we begin with a baseline assessment to understand their current skills and learning profile. From there, we work with families to set yearly and intermediate academic goals that reflect both strengths and areas for growth.
Every 8–10 weeks, students take a benchmark assessment to measure their progress toward these goals. These aren’t just numbers on a report—they’re part of a thoughtful conversation. We review the results with students and families, and together we decide whether it’s time to accelerate, adjust, or slow down the learning path based on what’s best for your child.
🧠 Multiple Ways to Show Growth:
While we do use online assessments as a primary tool, we also honor different ways of learning. That means incorporating visual tasks, oral presentations, group collaborations, and project-based assessments that allow students to demonstrate their understanding in diverse ways.
🎯 Our Promise:
Every step of the way, our goal is simple but powerful: to ensure your child’s learning experience is always aligned with their needs, talents, and potential.
We believe progress is personal—and we’re committed to walking alongside each student and family to make that belief a reality.
