&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Perry Local School District has long prioritized using multiple measures to understand student progress, especially in reading. Educators relied on a combination of classroom assessments, third-party tools, and sources like ACT, Aimsweb+, CogAT, and i-Ready.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Evergreen Park District 124: Strengthening Common Assessments With a Clearer View of Student Learning</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124 needed a consistent way for teachers in grades 3-8 to assign, grade, and analyze standards-aligned common assessments across all buildings. They also wanted a solution that offered flexibility for early elementary teachers who relied on paper-based student work, and a centralized place to bring together multiple data sources to better support instructional planning, MTSS, and family conversations.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Personalizing Learning Through Standards-Based Grading in East Moline SD 37</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;When East Moline SD 37 began planning a districtwide shift to standards-based grading, leaders knew the transition would require both mindset and system changes. Teachers needed a way to view individual progress toward standards, while still maintaining the flexibility to track points-based grades during the rollout.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Wood Dale School District 7 in Illinois set out to strengthen collaboration and instructional alignment across its PK–8 schools by connecting standards, common assessments, and student progress data. The district’s standards-based grading initiative required a platform that made it easy to deliver standards-aligned assessments and visualize learning progress while keeping teachers’ workload manageable.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Marshall County Schools, a K-12 district in Kentucky, set out to make learning more personalized and data-informed. Their goal was to equip teachers with real-time insights into student progress without adding extra burden. The district needed a platform that could support standards-based grading (SBG), simplify common assessment administration, and help them monitor student growth at scale across all content areas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Measuring Student Progress with Confidence in Nampa School District</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;The Challenge&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nampa School District in Idaho had made meaningful progress in helping teachers measure student learning against grade-level standards, but their efforts were held back by a lack of consistency and visibility. Teachers were using spreadsheets and a patchwork of other tools to track student progress, making it difficult to collaborate, adjust instruction, or communicate growth clearly with students and families.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
