Testing & Monitoring

Continuous evaluation of student learning is an integral part of the instructional process in the SABIS^® system. Frequent and regular testing is conducted in order to evaluate student learning and permit timely, positive intervention. Testing students in this way has a number of very important advantages:

• Students are trained to perform well under pressure 
• Students develop the ability to focus and sustain concentration for increasingly long periods
• The feedback from testing allows close monitoring and follow-up

The proprietary SABIS^® Software Systems provide many programs that allow prompt, reliable assessment of student knowledge as well as effective follow-up. One such program, the SABIS^® Academic Monitoring System™ (SABIS^® AMS™), is used to assess student knowledge of every concept taught. The SABIS^® AMS™ allows 'gaps' in student knowledge to be pinpointed as they form. Working as a team, teachers and students then focus on 'filling the gaps.' The SABIS^® AMS™ allows the progress of every student to be continuously monitored, the problem areas to be identified, and the most appropriate solutions to be implemented.
