CTB/McGraw-Hill, the nation's leading provider of assessment solutions, and TurnLeaf Solutions, Inc., national provider of customized online reporting and data analysis, today announced the expansion of their strategic alliance to encompass the delivery of TurnLeaf's Achievement Management System (AMS) to customers nationwide.
The CTB and TurnLeaf solution is tailored to meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind. AMS provides educators the ability to store in a central warehousing system national, state, and local online assessment results aligned with all Student Information Systems. Once this data is in the system, administrators and teachers can create, share, and publish customized reports reflecting student progress over time, as well as progress on formative assessments and summative state tests. In addition, AMS allows educators to create required Adequate Yearly Progress reports directly from the stored data.
"Our expanded alliance with TurnLeaf provides greater support to educators at the state, district, and local levels," said CTB president David Taggart. "Together with our i-know assessment products, AMS creates a comprehensive online solution for individualized instruction and precision reporting."
"TurnLeaf's Achievement Management System (AMS) and data integration services provide educators with a reliable learning management solution for accountability and instructional reporting. CTB's leadership in educational assessment combined with TurnLeaf's AMS delivers educators an effective learning management and accountability tool they can trust," said TurnLeaf President/CEO Eric Meyer.
The i-know family of web-based assessment, writing, and reporting tools provides teachers and administrators with ongoing student data to inform instruction and direct teaching and learning. Content aligned to state standards is available for GradesG 3-8 in an easy-to-use format. Immediate online reports provide information about growth and progress for data-driven decisions.
