Cortex 5.0 vs LION Reading and Math

The PCS Edventures Cortex is a drag-and-drop robotics programming environment that generates Arduino code for PCS Brain robotics kits or robot kits of your own design. Using the PCS Brain you can build robots that interact with their environment using sensors and move around using a variety of building systems including fischertechnik(r), LEGO(r), K'NEX, VEX, and others. You can even bolt it on to your R/C car and teach it to follow you like a dog! The rich, game-like programming interface is a great tool for learning how to program in a friendly environment, provides tools for learning Arduino coding, and it works on iPad!

LION is a universal screener and comprehensive assessment tool for reading and math that will track growth and identify areas of strength and weakness for each student. The assessment is adaptive and correlated to the standards. LION results are key to the successful implementation of RTI, MTSS, and DBI frameworks. LION data is easy to understand and helps teachers target small group instruction, progress monitor, and improve student achievement.
