Programmed classroom instruction

A computer-implemented method of overseeing and adjusting and strengthening the instruction and evaluation of a student with respect to one or more topics of study within a classroom, comprising the steps of:

• analyzing a subject matter of an academic course of study in detail and subsequently breaking down the totality of knowledge of the subject matter that the student is expected to learn into a plurality of discretely defined behavioral performances that are designed to be readily and objectively recognized as being mastered or not by the student;
• storing the plurality of discretely defined behavioral performances into at least a first computerized database system which organizes the plurality of discretely defined behavioral performances on the basis of structural and functional groupings as well as conventional levels of difficulty or advancement;
• for each specified evaluation period of the classroom, designating one or more of the discretely defined behavioral performances stored in the first computerized database as learning objectives that are to be studied by the student;
• evaluating an ability of the student to carry out the one or more discretely defined behavioral performances designated as learning objectives over the course of the evaluation period and recording the results of the evaluation in real time into the first computerized database system;
• generating a dynamic classroom teaching chart providing a real time visual representation of the student's learning progress for one or more learning objectives for the specified evaluation period;
• at the end of each specified evaluation period, automatically transferring the recorded results of the evaluation to a second computerized database system that collects evaluation results for each student, for every evaluation period, for every class, and organizes the plurality of collected evaluation results into an interactive learning management report that can be configured by a reviewer in real time to display a variety of levels of detail ranging from a specific level, such as a specific subject matter for a specific student, to a general level of detail, such as the overall performance of a classroom or school over a specified period of time.
