PASS in Different Contexts

Now that we have shown you how to use PASS in a One-on-One Context, we will show you how to use PASS with a Small Group and an Entire Class of students.

These different contexts can be used on their own or in combination. Once you have grasped the flexibility of PASS, try experimenting with the different contexts in order to best meet the needs of your students.

Pass in different contexts

PASS was originally designed to be used only with students who are academically at risk or are failing their written tests. However, over the years we came to realize that any student can benefit from PASS. In order to provide the benefits of PASS to as many students as possible, we developed alternative ways to use it.

Bonus!

Almost by accident, we discovered that PASS can produce a detailed blueprint of a test. As we reviewed the Student Performance Assessment Graphs (SPAG), we realized that the tables on the SPAG actually reflect the composition of the test. Aha! We had the beginnings of a test blueprint. We then adapted the PASS Excel grid to produce a blueprint of every test.

We will show you how the test blueprints, generated by the PASS Excel grid, benefit both teachers and students.
