Research / Development – Critical Mistakes
 Recurring errors that students make in a particular subject area
 Test makers use this information when designing tests
 CompassLearning – mapped students’ misunderstandings of specific
concepts, and created the Critical Mistakes Library

Course Recovery vs. Course Remediation
Course Recovery:
 Designed for students who have
previously failed a specific subject,
but promoted to the next grade
level
 Example: Tom is a current 7th grade
student who failed 6th grade Math.
This school year he will be
recovering 6th grade Math using
Odyssey.
 Recovery occurs for an entire
course (all quarters).
Course Remediation:
 Designed for the student who is
not passing in a specific 9-week
period within a content area.
 Example: Jessica is struggling and
fails the 2nd nine-week math class.
Jessica’s teacher has assigned her
the course for 7th grade 2nd nineweek math.
 Remediation can occur for one or
more nine week course(s).
