This collaboration will provide educators with seamless access to Exemplars’ high-quality math performance tasks and rubrics within the Otus platform, enhancing the teaching and learning experience for students.

For over 30 years, Exemplars has been at the forefront of developing standards-based performance tasks to support educators in improving student outcomes. Their research-based, classroom-tested materials are designed to meet state, national, and Common Core standards, and are used by educators across 50 states and 33 countries.

Through this partnership, Otus users who have purchased Exemplars will now be able to track data from Exemplars’ math performance tasks using rubrics within the Otus platform. This integration allows teachers to view and analyze student performance data on these tasks alongside other student data, such as state and national test results, providing a comprehensive understanding of student progress and needs. The performance tasks, available for grades K-8, help educators teach and assess problem-solving skills and are designed to develop critical thinking, reasoning, and communication skills needed to master 21st century challenges.

“We are thrilled to enhance how educators track data from Exemplars’ rich performance tasks within the Otus platform,” said Phil Collins, Chief Customer Officer at Otus. “This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to empower educators with the tools they need to foster student success.
