Maximize student growth while saving educators time

With a tool that supports data-driven instruction, assessment, standards-based grading, and progress monitoring – all in one place.

ASSESSMENTS

Measure student learning with engaging assessments including formative, summative, common, benchmark and more

  • Tap into 1,000s of ready-to-use Common Core and state standards-aligned assessments.
  • Access your curriculum’s assessments right in Otus – Amplify, HMH, Wit & Wisdom, and more.
  • Build your own assessments using over 98K expertly-developed questions from the Mastery Item Bank or create your own tech-enhanced questions that auto-score to save time.
  • Use AI to automatically generate high-quality multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions or prompts.
  • Optionally link questions to learning standards for more tailored content.
  • AI is fully integrated in Otus, requiring no additional apps or plugins.
  • Track progress on non-academic skills such as citizenship, work completion, and more.
  • Generate custom printed or digital reports to communicate performance on assessments, standards, or a combination of both.
  • Students and their families can view real-time performance data from their own Otus accounts.
GRADING & REPORTING

Standards-based and traditional grading made easy

  • Create custom grading scales that align to the language used in your school district.
  • All standards are pre-loaded in Otus including Common Core, state standards, NGSS, and more.
  • Clearly display overall formative and summative grades and student progress toward every standard assessed in our interactive standards gradebook.
  • Use custom rubrics to assess any standards and provide clear feedback to students.
  • Distribute unique copies of Google Docs and Slides right in Otus side-by-side with defined grading criteria.
DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION

Leverage data insights to maximize instruction and student growth

  • View every single data point on a child in one place including national, state, and local assessments. 
  • Automated data-sharing with partners including NWEA MAP, Renaissance Star, and more. Otus will securely manage all your student data so you never have to organize a spreadsheet again.
  • Generate custom reports to compare performance across assessments. Analyze any assessment and all of the standards it is aligned to on a single page packed with interactive data visualizations.
  • Use item analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of assessment questions.
  • Disaggregate and compare student data using demographics such as race/ethnicity, grade level, special education, English language learning, and more.
  • Identify students who would benefit from intervention or extension opportunities by easily searching across all of your data.
PROGRESS MONITORING

Track student performance on any goals

  • Create custom progress monitoring plans to track any student goals including academic, social-emotional, executive functioning, behavior intervention, personalized learning, and more.
  • Every stakeholder can monitor and track progress over time with plans that follow a student from year to year.

Connect a student’s progress monitoring plan to their third-party assessment scores from NWEA, iReady, Renaissance, and more so data is automatically updated as they participate in testing.

  • Add progress updates, notes, and attachments to increase clarity.
  • Students and families can view and contribute to progress monitoring plans to track growth that happens outside of the classroom.

Gather, visualize, and act on student data – all in one place.
