Diagnostic instruments of the Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI) Program measure pupil achievement in the IPI learning continuum. The IPI system employs the instructional unit to define progress in mathematics, reading and science. At the start of a school year, placement tests are administered to start the pupil in appropriate learning…

Computer-assisted instruction was utilized in seven separate programs at Stanford involving children. In the Brentwood Mathematics program, multivariate data analysis for 73 first graders led to identification of factors affecting performance on mathematical problems. In the reading program for first and fourth graders, progress was made in…
