SUNNYVALE, CA, Jul 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
Edgenuity, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for K-12
education, today announced the launch of TransParent Edge, a Web-based
application that provides families with a confidential, up-to-date
profile of their child's academic performance. TransParent Edge includes
everything from content standards and expectations for each course to
assignments, test scores and standards-based report cards or transcripts.
With TransParent Edge, families are informed about when assignments are
due and can gain insight into comments from teachers about their child's
performance.
TransParent Edge consolidates meaningful data, such as grades on
individual assignments, missing assignments, standards-based report
cards, student schedules, student information, attendance, expectations
and requirements of specific courses based on state standards and pacing
guides for upcoming district or state testing. This information is
accessible via the Web using a secure application, that gives families an
accurate and graphically rich view of their student's progress, including
multiple measures such as testing, grades and rubrics by standards or
skills and concepts.
Eric Docter, president of Edgenuity, commented, "TransParent Edge provides
a systematic approach to inform families about the district's efforts in
the areas of curriculum and assessment. It enables principals and site
leaders to communicate with families using multiple measures of
achievement. For teachers, TransParent Edge is leveraging the work they're
already doing to assess their students while providing that information to
families without additional effort. And, for families, TransParent Edge
delivers a comprehensive set of student performance measures including
grades, rubrics and testing. TransParent Edge adds value to all of these
important constituencies, providing the actionable information that
ensures students remain on the path to academic success."
TransParent Edge is available now and complements Edgenuity's strategy for
instructional improvement. This strategy focuses on six core practices to
integrate curriculum, instruction, and assessment: Align and Benchmark for
curriculum optimization; Instruct and Adjust for instructional
improvement; and Assess and Analyze for assessment effectiveness.
TransParent Edge is delivered as part of The Edgenuity Achievement Suite,
which is a set of on-demand applications designed to transform teaching
and learning to support these six core practices. For more information
