Product Review of Teach to One Roadmaps

By Matthew Lynch

Spread the love

Teach to One Roadmaps is an online diagnostic assessment tool that delivers a personalized scope of learning skills for each student. It is designed for learners in fourth to eighth grade and those taking Algebra I. The program offers three versions: Roadmaps Free, Roadmaps Home (designed for families), and Roadmaps Plus (designed for schools). Teachers can easily sign up for Roadmaps Free with a personal or work email. Upon registering, you’ll be prompted to link your school site, which connects educators within the same community for collaborative purposes. Teach to One Roadmaps has two main tabs: classes and reports. Teachers have the option of creating a class by syncing with Clever or Google Classroom, or manually through the program’s Create form.

Once classes are created and learners are invited to create their own accounts, they’ll be able to take the diagnostic assessment. It can be administered three times per year. Once learners complete the assessment, individual reports are generated for educators to view. The Roadmaps report, which includes a skills list and content map, illustrates skills mastered and skills that need to be learned or reinforced. Each skill description includes an overview for educators, with information relevant to instructional planning, differentiation, learning progression, and skill-specific insight.

Teachers can use Teach to One Roadmaps to assess their learners and identify individual strengths and areas of growth in mathematics. The diagnostic assessment, which educators can administer as a baseline, midline, and conclusion, provides insight on individual student understanding. It can help educators identify where learners are within the mathematical progression, rather than just assessing grade-specific standards.

Use the data report to break down which skills learners “place out” of and which ones need to be reinforced or taught. In addition to tracking progress, use it to inform lesson planning, design targeted differentiation, and create small groups. Check out the teacher overview to read about standards and learning progression notes that include prerequisite skills and key connections. It also includes vocabulary relevant to the standard and sample assessment questions. You can  use the overview for possible questions to include in lessons, common misconceptions that may arise, and outside resources that may be useful when planning or assigning student work. Make sure to set aside time to read problems aloud for those who need it, and give kids a whiteboard, paper, or other tool to work out the assessment problems.

Teach to One Roadmaps is a good option for educators looking for an adaptive diagnostic assessment that will help them identify individual learners’ strengths and areas of growth. The assessment recognizes the cumulative and progressive nature of mathematics. The assessment itself is a sequence of questions that adapt based on student responses. If learners get questions on a specific grade-level skill wrong, the assessment presents questions that target prerequisite skills to determine where learners are in their understanding and what learning gaps exist. Because of the adaptive nature of the diagnostic assessment, it provides educators insight on pre-grade areas of growth and post-grade enrichment or extensions. The concept map gives educators a visual representation of how skills build upon each other and what educators need to focus on in order to support student development. Filter by strand or by grade level to break down concepts learners still need to learn or improve. The overview is particularly helpful, providing key insight that will come in handy when lesson-planning or designing targeted instruction.

As a targeted and specific way to measure where kids are with math skills, the platform is extremely useful. A few more features would boost its value. A pop-up walkthrough would help educators who are overwhelmed with information. Also, a read-aloud feature would make the assessments more accessible. And while the purpose of the tool isn’t to be “fun” or particularly engaging, giving kids a bit of a friendlier interface — perhaps with drawing or other mark-up tools — might encourage kids who feel discouraged.

Overall User Consensus About the App

Student Engagement

The skill overview can be useful when designing instruction and differentiation, which can help find the right level of challenge, but the interface isn’t particularly inviting for kids.

Curriculum and Instruction

The skills list and content map pack tons of information, which may seem overwhelming, but educators can filter the skills list by strand and grade level. The teacher overview provides practical information to support instruction.

Customer Support

There isn’t much guidance and there are few additional resources for educators. Content is available in Spanish, and it has options for visual accessibility but no read-aloud feature.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
