A Study of the Efficacy of Apex Learning Adaptive Tutorials on Middle School Student Achievement Year 1

During the 2014-2015 school year, seventh and eighth grade students from two Beaverton School District (BSD) middle schools used math and English Tutorials as a supplement to traditional classroom instruction. Teachers implemented Tutorials in ways that best suited their instructional goals, student needs, and available technological resources. In the spring, students completed the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) computer adaptive summative assessments administered by the Oregon Department of Education to measure student mastery of the state standards in English language arts and mathematics.
