What’s Holding Most Districts Back?

Traditional SIS gradebooks weren’t built for this level of clarity, flexibility, or equity of opportunity to learn. They:

Calculate averages instead of evaluating learning

Collect evidence of learning by class, not by standard

Provide static, end-of-term reporting

A Better Way Forward: JumpRope by Aeries Software

JumpRope is designed specifically for standards-based teaching, assessing, and reporting, helping districts open up conversations about learning.

With JumpRope, districts can:

  • Examine student mastery across classes, teachers, and years
  • Evaluate a body of evidence to honor growth over time
  • Separate academic performance from habits of work
  • Support equitable, consistent grading practices districtwide
"JumpRope allows teachers to communicate better with students about how they're doing, which is exactly why we switched to standards-based reporting in the first place."
— Michael Arington, Teacher Technology Specialist, Tahoe Truckee USD, California
