At Spectrum360, we are always seeking ways to better support our students’ learning. Because generalized instruction doesn’t always meet the needs of our unique learners, we’ve been exploring tools that provide customized, data-driven teaching. After research and review, Assistant Principal Noelle DiGiacomo identified Let’s Go Learn as a strong solution.

Last school year, Academy360 Upper School piloted Let’s Go Learn benchmark assessments in math and reading. The results were encouraging—students showed measurable growth from September to June, including full grade-level increases in reading. These assessments gave teachers a clearer picture of where students were succeeding and where they needed more support. “We are thrilled to partner with Academy 360 Upper School to support their commitment to enhancing personalized learning,” shared Meghan Kurpat, Partner Success Specialist at Let’s Go Learn. “Our mission at Let’s Go Learn is to provide educators with the tools to genuinely identify and meet the individual needs of every learner. We are confident that our powerful diagnostic assessments will provide their special education team with the specific, actionable data they need to understand each student’s unique strengths and challenges. This partnership will allow the district to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach and deliver truly personalized, effective instruction that directly supports their students.”

This year, we’re expanding the program by introducing Let’s Go Learn’s EDGE. EDGE uses assessment results to create personalized, computer-based lessons that target the specific skills each student still needs. Students can work at their own pace, while teachers use the data to provide focused instruction and track progress. With built-in mini-assessments, EDGE allows teachers to monitor growth throughout the year and create meaningful, realistic goals for IEPs. “Previously, teachers didn’t always have enough data to quantify what students were able to do,” explained Ms. DiGiacomo. “EDGE provides detailed reports that break down specific skills, giving us concrete information to support learning and better communicate with families.”

Teachers across departments are already seeing the benefits of this approach.

“Let’s Go Learn is not only an excellent assessment tool that identifies skill gaps our students may possess, but it also provides individualized, computer-driven instruction that works to fill in these missing skills,” said Lindsey Releford, Secondary Departmental English Teacher. “This instruction is high-energy and attention-grabbing—incorporating video clips, music, and animations to engage students in each skill. Data is taken throughout the entire process, which is extremely useful for monitoring progress and IEP development. Students in the Secondary Departmental English program will not only have access to a standards-based high school curriculum for English/Language Arts, but also have the opportunity to participate in unique instruction tailored to their specific needs.”

Other teachers share similar enthusiasm for the program’s individualized approach.

“I’m excited to continue using Let’s Go Learn to provide assessments and interventions that are specifically tailored to each student’s unique learning profile,” said Lachel Cox, Departmental Math Teacher. “The platform’s ability to align instruction with IEP goals ensures that every learner gets the targeted support they need—helping them make meaningful progress and move closer to grade-level achievement.”

This fall, more than 50 Upper School students will participate in the program, supported by departmental math and reading teachers. Staff training is already underway, with skills-focused instruction which began in October.

By combining individualized instruction, data-driven insights, and teacher expertise, Spectrum360 continues to build a curriculum that strengthens student independence, confidence, and long-term success—fulfilling our mission to help every learner reach their fullest potential.
