Frequently asked questions
Jump to a question:
What are MO LEAP Blocks?
They include grade and content specific resources that support standards-aligned, grade-appropriate classroom-level instruction. MO LEAP Blocks focus on content in the MLS that support acceleration of learning.
When will MO LEAP Blocks be available?
Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts Blocks are available now. Blocks in other grades, domains, and content areas will be rolling out later this fall.
How many MO LEAP Blocks will be available?
Currently, three to six Blocks are planned for each grade level in ELA, Math and Social Studies. For Science, three to six blocks are planned for each grade span (3-5, 6-8, 9-12).
What materials will the MO LEAP Blocks include?
MO LEAP Blocks include materials for student and instructor use, including items and scoring guides.
Are MO LEAP Blocks tied to assessed standards?
MO LEAP Blocks are distinct from MO LEAP Assessments. Each MO LEAP Block is likely linked to more than one standard (MLS expectation). It is outside the scope and budget of the current project to create Blocks that align to each MLS expectation.
Do districts have to use the MO LEAP Assessment in order to have access to the MO LEAP Blocks?
No, use of MO LEAP Blocks is both free and voluntary, and not tied to the MO LEAP Assessment
