Measuring Up eKnowledge

What is eKnowledge?

• a student-friendly system on the Internet that provides diagnostic practice tests in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics
• e-Path scores the tests-or lets you score the written responses-and then generates a Prescriptive Pathway to give each student individualized help.
• e-Path tests are based on specific state standards and simulate the CAHSEE
• Automated reports tell you immediately whether your students are succeeding and where you might focus teaching for improvement.

General Information:

• All 10^th grade CAHSEE Intensive students who choose tutoring for their CAHSEE Intensive Option must complete the Measuring Up Diagnostic Test (pretest). Students with online access can take the test online, then print their results and take it to their first tutoring session. Students who do not have internet access can complete a printed out copy and take it to their tutor to correct and score. (ES can pick up a copy at the August ES Meeting for their 10^th grade Intensive students who do not have internet access.)
• All 10^th grade intensive students will be entered into the program by the curriculum director. Student username and password will then be emailed to ES to pass onto student. At this time, the program is only available for 10th grade CAHSEE Intensive students.
• Intensive teachers or tutors must request a teacher account in order to view student reports and/or assign quizzes or tests. Please email Admin at cwcs@connectingwaters.org to request a teacher account. Please also include your student first and last names on the email request.
• Once a teacher account request is made, a class will be created and students will be included. The Diagnostic Test (pretest) will be assigned, and students will be able to take their test and receive their individual “Prescriptive Path”.
• The “Prescriptive Path” will list questions missed, standards, and Measuring Up lessons that need to be completed by the student. This can be printed out by the student, or by the Intensive teacher or tutor. It should serve as an instructional guide for the class or tutoring time.
• Measuring Up website is www.measuringupe-path.com
• For students who do not have online access, the teacher or tutor can request the answer key from Admin at cwcs@connectingwaters.org to correct and score. The key will list standards and Measuring Up lessons just like the online eKnowledge.
• Math Diagnostic Test has 80 questions and the ELA has 73. Students do not have to take the test in one sitting and should allow ample time (90 mins, give or take) to take their test. This test mirrors the actual CAHSEE and although long, gives students an excellent idea of what to expect.
• Quick Start Directions for use with teacher accounts.
