True Progress

Student Progress

True Progress is real growth.

Schools are full of evidence that looks like progress. Work gets completed. Scores rise. Students participate, comply, and move through the curriculum.

But activity is not the same as learning. Support can help a student finish today’s task without developing the capacity to succeed tomorrow.

True progress changes what a student can do independently, retain over time, and transfer to new situations.
