iPASS stands for an "Individual Prescription for Achieving State Standards," which reflects two of its most important features: 1) it is prescriptive at a very detailed level - that is, instruction is matched to the specific concept and skill deficits of individual students, and 2) it is mastery-based, which means students achieve mastery of each standard as a prerequisite for progress through the program. It is a fully-automated, web-based math curriculum and instruction system that provides individualized instruction to meet the identified needs of each student while freeing up the teacher to monitor and facilitate learning on a one-to-one basis. It provides the following functions without requiring teacher intervention: all pre- and post-assessment, placement, original instruction, systematic practice and review. In addition, it incorporates course management, progress reporting, and teacher support in a tightly-integrated system aligned with state standards.

The curriculum is designed for Math Intervention in Grades 3 through 8 as well as High School students in support classes. It provides an efficient yet comprehensive coverage of content in Grades 1 through 8. It is highly aligned with the NCTM Focal Points and the recommendations of the National Math Advisory Panel and covers all the core concepts necessary for success in elementary grades, middle grades as well as Algebra or Integrated Math in High School.
