Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Star 360
Every classroom uses Renaissance Star 360. All teachers have been trained in its use, but one of the problems is that classrooms use it differently. Some use it to enhance individual students' reading levels, while others use it for comprehension grades on class novels. Also, it is difficult for teachers to get new training mid-year when Renaissance makes changes in the middle of the school year.
- Wide variety of book titles
- Many graphs for teachers to choose how to view data
- User-friendly for both students and staff
- Mid-year changes are difficult to keep up with, especially when the changes were made in May when many schools were trying to receive data graphs that were no longer there
- Be more competitively priced - they are more expensive than other reading comprehension on-line programs
- New students are evaluated on the same level as those who have been in the classroom all school year
Moby Max is also individualized and is free. We chose Renaissance because we had it before, but with more budget cuts and a terrible education leader in Washington, we may have to change to something cheaper soon.
