MetaMetrics partners with Lumina Education to embed globally recognized Lexile® measures in assessments and learning tools.
SINGAPORE, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today at EDUtech Asia, Asia’s largest conference and exhibition for educators and EdTech providers, MetaMetrics®, a leader in educational measurement and research, announces the launch of the Lexile® Framework for Reading in Indonesia. This groundbreaking initiative through Lumina Education, a subsidiary of Lippo Group, will begin in 50 schools across the country. Lumina’s reading program, BukuAku, is designed to help students enhance their English reading proficiency by providing accurate reading measures and matching them with books appropriate for their reading level.
“We are excited to work with Stephanie and the Lumina team to bring the value of the Lexile Framework to Indonesia’s English language learners…Lumina Education’s mission to build a brighter future aligns strongly with our own vision.” –Brad Baumgartner, CEO, MetaMetrics.
At the core of the BukuAku program is the LTS Reading Test, powered by the Lexile Framework for Reading, a powerful tool for assessing a student’s reading ability and matching them to reading materials at their level. Unlike traditional assessments, BukuAku offers more than just a score; it provides a roadmap for growth by matching students with books in their Lexile range, creating a personalized learning experience that fosters curiosity and encourages a lifelong love of reading.
The launch event, held on November 5 in Jakarta, is a significant milestone, attended by influential leaders from both MetaMetrics and Lumina Education, including Stephanie Riady, CEO of Lumina Education.
“We are thrilled to bring the Lexile Framework to Indonesia and incorporate it into BukuAku,” said Stephanie Riady. “This partnership isn’t just about launching a new product; it’s about building a better future for students across Indonesia by enhancing their English literacy and giving them tools to succeed in a fast-changing world.”
“The development of the new LTS Reading Test involved a team from both companies, led by Catherine Mulyana, Chief Operating Officer of Lumina Education, and Lisa Bickel, Vice President of Partner Success at MetaMetrics” continues Stephanie, “working together, we tailored reading tests and resources to meet the needs of Indonesia’s English learners. One of the most powerful aspects of the program is tailored intervention strategies for students with lower-than-expected Lexile measures who need extra support.”
“We are excited to work with Stephanie and the Lumina team to bring the value of the Lexile Framework to Indonesia’s English language learners,” comments Brad Baumgartner, CEO, MetaMetrics, “our teams worked with Indonesian students to ensure the questions, assessments, reading materials, and the measurement scale connect together seamlessly. Lumina Education’s mission to build a brighter future aligns strongly with our own vision,” concludes Brad.
Integration of the Lexile Framework within BukuAku elevates how reading skills are taught and nurtured in Indonesia, empowering educators with actionable insights to support student growth. Lexile measures are also incorporated into Lumina Testing Services (LTS), a new web app offering educators detailed insights into student progress. With LTS, teachers and administrators can seamlessly monitor student growth, check for any potential gaps, identify improvement areas, and make data-driven decisions that promote better student learning progression.
