Research / Development Critical Mistakes

• Recurring errors that students make in a
  particular subject area
• Test makers use this information when designing
  tests
• CompassLearning mapped students
  misunderstandings of specific concepts, and
  created the Critical Mistakes Library
• Odyssey exposes students to these critical
  mistakes thereby providing them with a greater
  understanding of what makes a wrong answer WRONG?

Course Recovery vs. Course Remediation

• Course Remediation
• Designed for the student who is not passing in a
  specific 9-week period within a content area.
• Example Jessica is struggling and fails the 2nd
  nine-week math class. Jessicas teacher has
  assigned her the course for 7th grade 2nd
  nine-week math.
• Remediation can occur for one or more nine week
  course(s).

• Course Recovery
• Designed for students who have previously failed
  a specific subject, but promoted to the next
  grade level
• Example Tom is a current 7th grade student who
  failed 6th grade Math. This school year he will
  be recovering 6th grade Math using Odyssey.
• Recovery occurs for an entire course (all
  quarters).
