Traditional placement tests often act as a "gatekeeper" rather than a gateway, frequently relegating students to remedial tracks that they might have avoided with the right support. Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (P.I.T.) is changing that narrative.
Join us on Thursday, February 26th at 2pm ET / 11am PT for an in-depth session on how P.I.T. transitioned from high-stakes standardized testing to a personalized, low-stakes diagnostic model using EdReady. We will explore how this shift has not only streamlined the enrollment process but also empowered students to take ownership of their learning gaps before they even step into a classroom. By utilizing EdReady’s adaptive learning paths, P.I.T. is ensuring that students are placed accurately and supported effectively, leading to improved student confidence and outcomes.
