Today during my internship, a fourth grade teacher discussed with me a tool she used in the computer lab to assess student achievement on Connecticut Curriculum Frameworks. Student scores were used to identify areas of opportunity to plan future instruction for the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMTs). The tool that was used is called Brain Child and can be found at http://www.brainchild.com/. This website allows you to select your state, take a grade 4 student demo, sign up for a free trial, or purchase the product (prices depend on the number of students who will be using the product). When reviewing the grade 4 student demo, I was able to select assessments in language arts, math, or science. Additionally, this tool is available for students in grades 2 through 8. I found this online tool to be useful when preparing students for the CMTs. Take a look and let me know what you think!
