TetraData and Scantron Partner for New Assessment and Data Analysis
Solution That Allows Real-Time Reporting of NCLB Data GREENVILLE,
S.C. and IRVINE, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- TetraData
Corporation and Scantron Corporation today announced that schools
can now use TetraData's EASE-e(TM) Data Analysis software to
seamlessly analyze data generated by Scantron's Achievement
Series(TM) assessment system. The integrated solution combines two
best-of-breed educational solutions into a powerful benchmarking
tool for making valid and reliable assessments to identify progress
toward high-stakes tests. In response to the growing need for
analysis and assessment tools in K-12 school systems across the
nation, the partnership between TetraData and Scantron will enable
the two industry leaders to collectively market their signature
software tools with a comprehensive solution to help schools deal
with reporting demands of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
(NCLB). The TetraData EASE-e Analysis suite helps educators
explore, measure and assess student learning and the learning
environment. Scantron's Achievement Series is a Web-based test
management engine that manages large-scale district and state
assessments as well as classroom-level testing for maximum
flexibility. The combined solution allows superintendents to better
measure the performance of students in aggregate or by groups, and
on a continuous basis, while allowing teachers to monitor areas of
strength and weakness against state standards. "This partnership
gives educators a comprehensive Web-based solution for analyzing
standards-aligned assessments and to efficiently communicate that
information throughout the district," said Tim Loomer, president of
Scantron's Testing and Assessment division. "Scantron's Achievement
Series is a test development and delivery system that captures
student performance data and TetraData transforms that data into
meaningful information for all stakeholders -- the superintendents,
principals, teachers and parents." "Scantron truly understands the
value of online assessment and testing and the importance of tying
test results back to instruction and curriculum through state
standards," says TetraData Chairman and CEO Martin Brutosky. "Their
Achievement Series delivers immediate test results to teachers --
real-time data that is designed to change classroom instruction
which can result in improved student learning. This is the goal of
nearly every one of our customers and of the market in general."
Scantron's Achievement Series is a highly flexible, content
neutral, Web-based test development and delivery system capable of
managing a school district's fixed form testing and assessment
needs while supporting integrated classroom quizzing and testing.
