Teachers and Families Need Tools to Support Learning
Guided by feedback from users, the Hub’s interface has been completely reconceived to focus on easy-to-use tools that support learning. Teachers can quickly access the tools and resources they need on any device, even on the fly in the classroom. Families, looking for ways to support learning at home, will find materials and activities right at their fingertips.
Tools, like the popular Lexile® Find a Book, are now easier to access and faster to navigate for educators and parents who want to locate appropriately challenging reading materials on topics of interest for their students.
“I’m excited about the new version of the Hub and how we are able to interact with it. The changes make navigation more user-friendly and time-saving. I love the new simple, clean look,” shares Efraín Tovar, Founder & Executive Director, California Newcomer Network; MetaMetrics’ Educator Ambassador
Guidance for Getting the Most out of Lexile and Quantile Measures
A new Resource Center centralizes materials for the Lexile® Framework for Reading and Quantile® Framework for Mathematics, supporting instruction and ensuring that educators and parents can find the information and guidance they need. Resources like maps that align student measures and content measures, grade level charts, and decodable practice passages are all organized into a convenient central location. These features save time for teachers who can better respond to supporting differentiated instruction in their classrooms.
Everyone is Welcome. Everyone is Supported.
The redesigned Hub promotes inclusion and access for all abilities in a welcoming, motivational, and connected space. When websites and web tools are properly designed and coded, people with disabilities can use them, avoiding the barriers that make them difficult or impossible to access. The new Lexile & Quantile Hub is accessible by design, complying with WCAG 2.1 AA standards and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Making the web accessible benefits individuals and society. And international web standards like WCAG define what is needed for accessibility. MetaMetrics is committed to meeting the accessibility needs of people with disabilities in the real world and to the role this plays in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
