Quick Start Education Galaxy1. My Study Plan• 10-question formative assessment• Students earn rewards & play games by answering questions

correctly• Immediate video feedback is provided when students miss a problem

2. My Diagnostics• Each diagnostic test covers the entire grade level’s standards• The Pre-test should be administered half-way through the school

year• The Post-test should be administered 3 weeks before state testing

3. My Recommended Topics for Study• When a student complete a diagnostic test, a personalized learning

path is created for the student• Based on the student’s performance the learning path organizes the

study topics into three categories;• Mastery Shown • Some Study Required • Critical Need for Study• Students must score an 80% or higher to remove a topic from their

personalized plan

responses and determinesrocket locations

2. My Galaxies• Topics with starso Areas where the student

demonstrated mastery duringthe diagnostic

o Students can always practicethese topics• Topics without starso Learning gaps identified during

the diagnostico Students “move up” their rocket and earn a Galaxy Star by scoring

an 80% or higher on a each topico Move students to Education Galaxy when they reach grade-level

Other Implementation Suggestions• Use our Test Builder/Assignment Builder to assign topics that follow

your lesson plans• Use LiftOff as a pretest for all students in grades 2-8 to help identify
