I would like to find out if any districts in any of these states have
adopted a comprehensive electronic curriculum program  districtwide. I am
referring to the kind that is covers all subject matters, is delivered via
computer in either a lab or a classroom setting, is correlated and aligned
with state standards, and provides teachers with reports that help determine
gain scores (entry levels of students vs. levels at the end of the school
year), mastery of objectives, benchmarks and strands. Also, it can be
purchased in modules for either reading, math, science and social studies.
Compass (formerly Jostens), Plato, Orchard, NovaNet, Classworks, come to
mind as possibilities, but I am sure there are more. I most states this is
left at the discretion of each individual school, but I am curious to see if
any district has tried to implement it for all schools either as a
supplement to instruction or as sole curriculum.
If your district has done it, please let me know:
1. What program was adopted?
2. Are teachers happy with the reports?
3. Does the program automatically move students as objectives are met or
does it require teacher input for each student?
4. Any other relevant information that could help us decide to implement
something like this for accountability purposes.
If your district hasn't done it officially, but most school have, I would
also like to hear from you.
Thanks!
