I was asked a question about performance predictors and how they work when schools are not in session for a few weeks. Is the student penalized in these cases?
Performance Predictors are dependent on use and progress in the program, so
any time students take a break, both their usage and progress is affected. By focusing in on student usage and lessons for the whole month of January (or any month after an extended break) you'll likely see a substantial bump on February first. Our recommendation is that, for any evaluative purposes, the February first Predictor should be used as the middle-of-year progress measure.
