PRISM

Built on the Foundation of Professional Learning Communities

PRISM answers all four critical PLC questions in one unified platform — transforming how schools ensure every student learns at high levels.

How PRISM Answers the 4 Critical PLC Questions

#1

What do we want all students to know and be able to do?

✓ Standards Management & Skill Progressions

PLCs identify priority standards, break them into 1-4 skill levels, and ensure vertical alignment across grades.

#2

How will we know if they have learned it?

✓ AI-Powered Common Assessments

Generate skill-specific assessments instantly. Track mastery at the skill level, not just standard level.

#3

How will we respond when some students do not learn?

✓ Learning Lab RTI System

Automatic placement into intervention rooms based on specific skill gaps. The right teacher for the right need.

#4

How will we extend learning for students who are proficient?

✓ Enrichment & Extension Placement

Students who master content are automatically placed in enrichment rooms for deeper learning opportunities.
