Ramp Tests For Student Learning

Updated: 2025.09.25 26D ago 1 sources
Borrow the cycling 'ramp test' model to quickly find each learner’s functional threshold in a subject, then use AI to build a dynamic, individualized plan that adjusts workload up or down over time. The system continuously re‑tests, treating the threshold as a moving baseline rather than a one‑off placement score. — This could shift schooling from fixed, grade‑level curricula to adaptive pathways that keep students in an optimal challenge zone, reframing standards, assessment, and pacing policy.
