Preparing to assess with mCLASS and mCLASS Lectura
We’ve developed a variety of resources to ensure you have the tools you need to support students in your classroom. In this section, you’ll find information on using mCLASS® and mCLASS® Lectura.
Note: Login may be required to access some resources.
- Demo mode
mCLASS English Classroom Reporting will now feature a demo mode that will guide teachers through sample classroom and student reports, highlighting realistic student data within the complete set of mCLASS instructional tools.
Demo mode will benefit all mCLASS users, whether they’re already familiar with the program or using it for the first time. If teachers are new to mCLASS, they’ll use demo mode to build their understanding of mCLASS reports and instructional tools after training. They can also use demo mode to refresh their memories or learn the nuances of mCLASS reports as needed.
The demo mode feature can be accessed via the Global Navigation Bar and contains authentic data to allow for training on reporting and assessment features.
- Navigation
mCLASS navigation
When a teacher clicks on mCLASS from Educator Home, they’ll see a screen like the example on the right.
- An educator with DIBELS 8th Edition and mCLASS Lectura will land on a page called “English Classroom Reporting” when they click the mCLASS icon.
- An administrator with DIBELS 8th Edition and mCLASS Lectura will land on Admin Reports when the click the mCLASS icon.
- If a district only uses DIBELS 8th Edition, they would only see English reporting (and vice versa for mCLASS Lectura and Spanish reporting).
There are two navigation bars at the top of the page.
The top global navigation bar allows users to switch between reporting, assessments, and the demo feature. They can also navigate back to Educator Home and their Programs & Apps menu.
The black navigation bar below allows users to easily switch between English classroom reporting and Spanish classroom reporting. This image shows an example of the English classroom reporting page that should already be familiar to our mCLASS customers.
Accessing classes, groups, and enrollment records
