Achieve3000, Inc. Granted U.S. Patent for Online Differentiated Instruction Methodology
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (PRWEB) May 14, 2014 -- Achieve3000®, the leader in online differentiated instruction, announced today that its system and method of providing differentiated nonfiction content to students based on their Lexile®/reading levels has been granted U.S. Patent Number 8,714,986 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office with additional patents pending.
Achieve3000 online literacy solutions for grades 2-12 dramatically accelerate reading gains, boost mastery of the Common Core Standards and performance on high-stakes tests, and prepare students for college and career. The patented methodology starts with the administration of LevelSet™, the only online assessment of nonfiction text. Based on that assessment, students are placed at their individual Lexile/reading levels and then complete lessons that are differentiated to meet their needs, whether they are reading at, below, or above grade level. With Achieve3000, differentiation is built in, so the whole class is exposed to the same content-area topic in English and Spanish, but text and activities are auto-adjusted to each student's current reading level. Real-time monitoring and reporting make it easy to track student progress. Achieve3000 is currently used by more than two million students worldwide.
“For nearly 15 years, students around the country have been realizing remarkable literacy gains by using Achieve3000,” said Saki Dodelson, Co-Founder and CEO, Achieve3000. “Receiving this patent is proof of the uniqueness and effectiveness of our approach to differentiating instruction in a way that accelerates the path to college and career readiness for all students.”
The patent was awarded to Achieve3000’s Dodelson, Co-founder and Chief Academic Officer Susan Gertler, and Senior Vice President of Research and Development Rivki Locker.
