A Better Way Forward: JumpRope by Aeries Software
JumpRope is designed specifically for standards-based teaching, assessing, and reporting, helping districts open up conversations about learning.
With JumpRope, districts can:
Examine student mastery across classes, teachers, and years
Evaluate a body of evidence to honor growth over time
Separate academic performance from habits of work
Support equitable, consistent grading practices districtwide
"JumpRope allows teachers to communicate better with students about how they're doing, which is exactly why we switched to standards-based reporting in the first place."
