A proposed, vendor-neutral approach: connect formative evidence, curriculum pacing and state-defined requirements to an instructional next step, then educator review and reassessment.
Proposed framework—not a validated prediction system or evidence of improved outcomes. The research scope is 50 states plus DC; completed evidence coverage is limited. Unknown or suppressed values are not zero.
South Dakota: state-specific definitions, reporting year, qualifying requirements, cohort and source review remain pending. No student totals or opportunity estimates are inferred.
How to use this framework
Establish evidence. Identify the assessment, skill or pathway requirement and its date.
Check pacing. Distinguish not yet taught, taught but not demonstrated, and insufficient evidence.
Review the next step. An educator chooses or overrides support and sets a reassessment.
Support students across the achievement range. A missing result is not a learning deficit. Academic performance-level movement, first CCR qualification and additional credentials are separate measures; graduation and workforce placement are also distinct.
Approved credentials differ from general course offerings. Eligibility does not establish enrollment, completion, credit award or purchase. Scale-score distance cannot be compared across assessments, grades or years.
College & district partnerships
2 curated partnership/program records in South Dakota. Named school relationships do not establish district-wide access or current enrollment availability.
State dual-enrollment guidance & funding
The state-supported Dakota Dreams program provides high-school dual-enrollment information and course-selection resources.
