It is critical Professional Learning Community members have quick, ready access to diverse data sets which reflect learning and professional growth.
Comprehend Pro is a web-based data analysis tool provided to ALCA members which is simple to use and implement. It takes only a few minutes to start analyzing your own data sets once they are imported.
Send ALCA your data sets and we import the data, create the requested reports, and you are moving forward. We can import most any data set from grades, perception (evaluation) data, benchmark data, and state-mandated test data.
Comprehend Mapping
ALCA is in the process of integrating curriculum mapping into Comprehend Pro. This collection of professional development and software services will be called Comprehend Mapping.
Imagine a Comprehend presentation dynamically created which integrates reports from state testing data and related standards-focused curriculum usage. These presentations would be designed to greatly simplify specific PLC Tasks in ALCA.
The process of Comprehend Mapping for teachers and administrators also support the creation of reports for Professional Learning Teams (PLTs), teachers, administrators, and substitute teachers.
Comprehend Pro features planned include:
The flexibility to create and collaborate on PLC mapping activities specific to the desires of a particular school district.
Sharing of activities and maps across groups (PLT, site, district, state, national, or international).
Ability to link to map activities not only uploaded files (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) but also ALCA's online content such as rubrics, tests, curriculum activities, units, web pages, multimedia, url bookmarks, forms, among many other content types.
Ability to link or import map activities into online assignments for students to conduct in ALCA Rooms. ALCA Rooms can be used for online courses complete with powerful grade books and automated test grading.
