What makes Kid’s College different than other educational software?

Kid’s College Adaptive Technology meets each student where he or she is, deciphers their learning profile by diagnosing strengths and skills gaps, and then presents the student with practice curriculum that is appropriate and relevant to their particular level of ability.

As a student continues to practice skill sets in Kid’s College, the Adaptive Technology uses a complex algorithm to automatically prompt curriculum to scaffold up or down to accelerate or remediate the student accordingly. Along the way, Kid’s College tracks each student’s progression or regression, generating a valuable suite of data reports that are automatically emailed to teachers and customized instructional workbooks which can be downloaded and printed for extra skills practice.
