With these new features, LPOD is a more powerful assessment tool that ties directly into hundreds of embedded tutorials for individualized learning.Learning Plans on Demand (LPOD) is known by teachers for its ability to quickly make differentiated instructional plans based on individual student needs such as those required for Response to Intervention (RTI). The RTI process is normally very time-consuming because each student must be evaluated independently to find the objectives he or she doesn't understand and then a teacher must locate resources and tutorials to help them catch up to grade level.Learning Plans on Demand automates the RTI process from the individual assessments to the generation of the learning plan itself and it does so for remediation or accelerated instruction.The new diagnostic assessments in LPOD make it possible for a teacher to quickly evaluate her entire class and then turn that data into learning plans complete with all the tutorials the students need, said Bill Tudor, founder and president of International Learning Corporation which developed LPOD. This is an exciting new element of LPOD that is already receiving rave reviews from our users. The new feature works quickly. For example, in the first week of school an eighth grade teacher might want to determine how well prepared her students are for pre-algebra. She can use LPOD to select a test of grade-level skills or for skills taught in earlier grades. With the results from LPOD, the teacher can then immediately select the missing objectives and the system prints out the necessary tutorials and practice activities.LPOD is a German Rosetta Stone great resource for a teacher needing a quick evaluation of individual students or an entire class to determine if they are ready for a new concept or to find out if they understood the last one, said Don Tylinski, Ed.D, Superintendent, Seneca Valley School District in Pennsylvania.
