SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2008) - 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 about The Edgenuity
Achievement Suite and TransParent Edge, please contact Ben Sanders by
