Otus, a leading K-12 data and assessment solution, is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with The Math Learning Center (MLC), a nonprofit organization that serves the education community by inspiring and enabling all individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability. Otus is now an approved platform for delivering MLC’s Bridges® in Mathematics curriculum assessments to Bridges customers in a digital format.
Inquiry-based and student-centered, Bridges in Mathematics focuses on developing mathematical reasoning while creating an inclusive and equitable learning community for all students.
Through this collaboration, customers of both the Math Learning Center and Otus can have students complete the Bridges assessments within Otus—an online platform that educators use for data collection and analysis, assessments, standards-based grading, and communication.
“Otus is a dynamic digital assessment platform that will allow Bridges students to display their problem-solving strategies while giving teachers the information they need to make instructional decisions. We are proud to work with a digital assessment provider who has earned the respect of teachers by continually making design decisions that put students first.”
Otus captures both standards-based and overall performance data. This allows educators to efficiently analyze student results to identify what students already know, what they are in the process of learning, and what they still need to know. Educators can responsively make decisions and adjust instruction accordingly. Additionally, data from Bridges assessments can be viewed alongside other student data, such as state and national test results to provide a more comprehensive understanding of student progress and needs.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Math Learning Center, an organization that shares our commitment to maximize student performance. By connecting these rich assessment tools with our robust data analysis capabilities, we are ensuring that every student can receive the personalized support they need to build confidence and succeed in mathematics.”
