Pennsylvania school district implements student
assessment software solution to inform personalized and data-driven
instruction
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC) today announced Jim Thorpe Area School
District (JTASD) in Carbon County, Pennsylvania has selected
PowerSchool Unified Classroom® Performance Matters as its primary
assessment management platform. Along with Unified Operations
PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS), PowerSchool Unified
Operations Enrollment, PowerSchool Unified Classroom® Special
Programs, and PowerSchool Unified Classroom® Schoology Learning,
JTASD’s implementation of Performance Matters will help its staff
draw insights from districtwide data to inform ongoing
instructional decisions and overall student support, while adhering
to fortified data security and privacy protocols.
“Through PowerSchool, we've been able to facilitate student
registration, online learning, data analysis, and other core
administrative responsibilities in the cloud,” said Katherine Doll,
Director of Instruction/Curriculum, Jim Thorpe Area School
District. “Incorporating education technology into our district’s
workflows has optimized our staff’s productivity levels and given
us more time back to focus on creating better learning outcomes for
students. PowerSchool and its customer service representatives
continue to be a tremendous support to our staff, and we look
forward to using their solutions moving forward.”
Performance Matters is a comprehensive student assessment
platform designed to identify unfinished learning, inform
whole-child instruction, and help educators more accurately make
connections between student performance and contributing factors
(such as behavior and attendance). As part of PowerSchool’s unified
suite of solutions, Performance Matters helps education
professionals effectively pinpoint learning gaps, align data with
district standards, and apply remediation and enrichment as
needed.
Prior to implementing Performance Matters, JTASD had been
campaigning for a data warehouse system to house district and
student data for several years. At the time, JTASD educators had to
cycle through multiple websites and channels to access district
data. Knowing the lack of easily accessible data caused operational
friction, JTASD integrated Performance Matters. Since then, the
platform has informed more data-driven instruction, simplified
tracking student performance, and reduced time spent pulling data
reports to just a few minutes.
Jim Thorpe Area School District (JTASD) offers a Pre-K to 12th
grade curriculum for students across Carbon County, Pennsylvania.
Serving over 1,900 total students, JTASD operates across three
school systems, including Penn-Kidder Campus, Lawrence B. Morris
School, and Jim Thorpe Area High School.
