The premise of the Classroom3tm 3D simulations was that the increased student engagement and the use of technology would result in higher achievement for all groups on criterion referenced assessments. Based upon the district sample of 1070 students from ten different schools, the average achievement gain for all subgroups was nearly the same.
The Classroom3tm simulations were successful in equalizing the achievement gains of all subgroups. This data indicates that Classroom3tm truly addresses No Child Left Behind.
