What we can show teachers, and what we can't

Schools are shown a lot of promises. Here is what Peabody's own records can back, how it is counted, and what we have not measured.

Our own numbers

The counts have not been taken yet, so none are shown. We would rather show nothing than a number we did not count.

These come from What Peabody measures, which has the same numbers and the same limits.

What a class report shows

With class mode, a teacher can print a report of the class's practice: each step in numbers, words and World, which skills are done for good, which are stuck, and how each assignment stands. Every figure is a count of what children did in Peabody. None is a test score, and none ranks a child.

What we do not claim

• We do not claim Peabody raises test scores. We have not measured that, and these counts cannot show it.
• We do not count children who read without an account, and we do not follow anyone around the web: every number comes from our own tables, never an outside tracker.
• We do not round up, drop the bad weeks or compare to other products.
• We have not run a study of Peabody in classrooms, and we do not have a report from an outside evaluator.
• We do not say a standards page means a child has met that standard. A page works toward a standard; a class report shows practice, not mastery of a standard.
• We do not publish figures from other products or compare Peabody with them.

If you want a number

Ask us. If our records can answer it, we will count it and show you how. If they cannot, we will say so.
