Flashlight360

The language development platform that helps students find their voice.

Flashlight360 is a speaking and writing progress monitoring tool with scoring and feedback that gives multilingual students an asset-based platform to showcase their full language capabilities — and provides the right-now, actionable data in five areas of speaking and three areas of writing. Research shows that constructive teacher feedback during the learning process accelerates language development. Flashlight360 is the tool that empowers teachers to transform their students’ speaking and writing capabilities into actionable data and illuminates the path to proficiency for multilingual students with transformative feedback to fuel growth.

Why Flashlight360?

Because you’re ready to shine a light on all your students’ language.

Your students are ready and eager to share their voice — they just need the right platform to do so. Flashlight360 breaks down speaking into five areas that allows teachers to identify where a student is excelling and where there is work to do.

Data that lights up the path to progress monitor student speaking.

Flashlight360 provides teachers with data to inform instructional planning, create student groups for differentiation, and progress monitor student speaking and writing throughout the school year. This data helps teachers provide students with feedback to accelerate language development.

Teachers can analyze student speaking and writing data by performance in each speaking and writing area and according to the learning goals they have created for each of their students.

Practice makes perfect.
So perfect the practice with standards-aligned speaking.

Flashlight360 allows students rich speaking and writing opportunities allowing them to practice their language as they work toward ELA/ELD standards-aligned learning goals. This practice emboldens students to participate more in the classroom and showcase their newfound confidence and language on their high stakes assessment.

Turn speaking into data. And let students’ own voices inform their instruction.

Helping students become assessment-capable learners starts with putting each student’s data in their own hands. Flashlight360 makes learning visible with easy-to-read graphs and charts. Students can see where they are excelling and where they have work to do so they can take ownership of their learning.

Assessing language is hard. Flashlight360 makes it easy.

Flashlight360 is the talk of the town.

I have been waiting to have a true progress monitoring tool that can be used for all students in K–12th grades at all language levels. That’s what Flashlight360 brings to the table. It is an interactive progress monitoring tool for speaking and writing with a dose of vocabulary building.
