MY Access!® School Edition
»Login
MY Access!® School Edition is a Web-based, cross-curricular program that transforms writing instruction and assessment by applying superior artificial intelligence and linguistic technologies to the writing process. Educators can make timely, data-driven decisions for successful differentiated instruction and motivate students to write more frequently by providing them with immediate feedback.
Enhanced Student Learning Experience
MY Access!® enhances students’ learning experience with a fun, interactive interface that provides them with more than 1,300 writing topics in math, science, language arts, and social studies that are aligned to state or common core standards. Additionally, teachers have the ability to create their own prompts matching specific curriculum needs.
When students log in, they immediately see every assignment they have pending from each teacher as well as their progress to date. As the writing process begins, they are presented with a selection of prewriting tools including graphic organizers and printable resources to help them plan and build successful responses.
Upon submitting their writing, MY Access!® instantly presents the student with a holistic score as well as scores in each of the standard domains of writing:
- Focus and Meaning
- Content and Development
- Organization
- Language Use, Voice, and Style
- Mechanics and Conventions
More importantly, students also receive immediate, detailed, and developmentally appropriate prescriptive feedback:
- MY Tutor™ provides prescriptive revision plans with examples to help students focus revision activities based on their strengths and weaknesses.
- MY Editor™ assists in identifying possible errors in grammar, mechanics, style, and usage and then provides recommendations for improvement.
Multi-lingual support in both MY Tutor™ and MY Editor™ give ELL and ESL students the opportunity to improve their English writing proficiency by receiving feedback in their native languages.
Additionally, as teachers review student submissions, they have the ability to provide individualized instruction, feedback, and comments to each student. Students can also communicate directly with teachers from within MY Access!®, ensuring a continuous loop of one-to-one communication.
Based upon the feedback received and various resources available within the application, the student is guided through the recursive writing process.
Improving Teacher Effectiveness
Comprehensive instructional support for educators and unmatched accuracy in scoring writing assignments with IntelliMetric® give teachers additional time for curriculum planning and individualized instruction in the classroom. Rather than spending excessive time grading papers, teachers are free to focus on teaching specific techniques in areas that need improvement, provide one-on-one assistance during the writing process, and help students polish their skills in areas where they are already doing well.
Extensive reporting options offer teachers and administrators a complete picture of student development and teacher effectiveness. By identifying at-risk students and measuring classroom performance, intervention steps can be taken quickly and efficiently.
A cumulative student writing portfolio for each student provides critical historical data for teachers, administrators, and parents that track the student’s cumulative progress throughout their academic career. With a direct connection to iSEEK Supercruncher™, this authentic assessment data can easily be matched with any other data set for easy identification of your students’ unique needs, whether by school, teacher, sub-group, or other criteria.
Ongoing, dynamic professional development resources are available, which allows all educators to tailor MY Access!® to their specific curriculum. Through successful use of these programs, teachers can continually and effectively address students’ needs for improvement and provide them with the means to succeed.
