AI can transform learning, but accuracy matters. New MetaMetrics research found that just 3% of AI-estimated #Lexile measures matched official measures.
MetaMetrics CEO @ChrisMinnich explains why edtech needs research-based guardrails in @The74.

A Lexile or Quantile measure is not a label. It is a starting point for growth. 🌱
Learn how educators can help students understand their measures, recognize their progress, and set goals for what comes next.

What are parents really seeing when they look at their child’s grades?
A recent @The74Million article takes a closer look at changing parent perceptions of student achievement — and why grades don’t always tell the full story.
The article highlights new data from @BeALearningHero and the work of Bibb Hubbard and the Learning Heroes team to help families better understand how their children are doing.
A shout-out to Cindi Williams as well for helping bring families into these important conversations.
Worth a read. 👇

Grades can give the false impression that students are on track. A Learning Heroes survey suggests parents are beginning to question what schools tell them bit.ly/4z3Gk29
This conversation also connects to @bellwetherorg's Proficiency Confusion report, which explores why achievement labels can be difficult for families to interpret.
Families need meaningful context to understand what students know and can do.

Teachers turn assessment insights into opportunities to learn. We’re proud to support that work with Lexile and Quantile measures that connect results with books and math activities.
Thank you for helping students grow! #WorldTeachersDay
That’s a wrap on #TRL2026!
From adolescent #literacy and #ScienceOfReading to policy, data & AI, we’re leaving Chicago inspired by the conversations and excited to keep them going.
