Minnesota has adopted the Minnesota Academic Standards for English/language arts only
Minnesota has adopted the Minnesota Academic Standards for English/language arts only. Minnesota will use the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment Test (MCAs) to measure student proficiency. Education Galaxy provides support for Minnesota Academic Standards in ELA to help prepare Minnesota students for the rigor of Common Core reading and language skills. Education Galaxy currently does not support Minnesota’s math standards. Education Galaxy’s Common Core MCA test preparation program provides online assessment and practice for students in grades K-8 to help build mastery towards the Minnesota Academic Standards. Our unique online program is easy to use and enjoyable for both teachers and students. Students work on their Study Plans practicing important concepts while teachers pull formative assessment reports to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their classroom and individual students.

Our Video Alien Explanations Provide Deep Instructional Support Like Never Before
Most online programs fail at providing adequate or helpful feedback to students after they miss questions. Many programs offer text based feedback that students rarely read and quickly ignore. Our revolutionary Alien Explanations provide video explanations for every single question that is specific to that question. This provides drill-down instruction to the very basic skills the students are struggling with. With Education Galaxy, your students will quickly master concepts because their instruction is tailored to them.

Education Galaxy is Curiously Fun
