Let’s Go Learn is a personalized learning company that focuses primarily on K-12 special education, MTSS, and intervention programming and support. For special education, the solution consists of adaptive, diagnostic assessments for reading and mathematics. The intent of the assessments is to provide maximum data for IEP writing, special education reporting designed to develop PLAAFP’s, annual goals, short-term objectives, track student progress on a regular basis, and link student deficits to specially-designed instruction. Each student receives a customizable, individualized learning plan aligned to his or her specific needs. For MTSS, Let’s Go Learn utilizes diagnostic assessments to determine the needs of each student. Different from quick screeners, Let’s Go Learn immediately determines student deficits, needs, and causal relationships to lower performance. The solution offers pin-pointed instruction that addresses each deficit area and provides targeted interventions in each of the three tiers of increasing intensity.
