The use of Add+VantageMR^® (AVMR) and Math Recovery^® Specialist (MRSp) assessments greatly enhance instruction by pinpointing students' current understandings. Our classroom landscapes are facing unique challenges as educators plan for instruction to meet the needs of all students.

Math Recovery assessments are applicable in the virtual environment, too. Today we are releasing guidelines for Add+VantageMR Course 1 assessments when an in-person assessment is not an option.

Guidelines for Math Recovery Specialist, Part 1, and Add+VantageMR Course 2 will be released later this month.
