Educational Technology / Instructional Design

What to call it: adaptive mastery-based learning system, prerequisite-gated curriculum, misconception-driven pedagogy.

Real evidence

• Seven years of real classroom GED teaching — documented pass rates meaningfully above the state average, predating any of this software.
• Real tier-mapped curriculum (GED Algebra, RLA) with embedded, code-level misconception tracking (MIS-ALG-XX codes tied to specific wrong answers).
• A forward-walk simulation of the calibration engine that found a real, three-layer bug — and an honest, undecorated report of what got fixed versus what's still open.

Honest calibration

This is the strongest field in the whole portfolio, because the core claim — that teaching effectiveness — predates and doesn't depend on any of the software: the software is formalizing something already proven. The calibration engine itself is real but not yet fully hardened for students at ability extremes; worth being precise about that with any audience that might actually deploy it.
