AssessOnline

Teacher Universe has developed a curriculum integration assessment system to provide school leaders with the information they need to manage and optimize their technology training programs. Assessment plays a key role in diagnosing what needs to be learned, and quantifying the learning that results from professional development. Our assessment series profiles each participant's ability to integrate technology with instruction and proficiency with applications before and after the training sessions. Reports — including portfolio evaluations by individual, group or district — are instantly generated and accessed via the Web, giving administrators and participants immediate feedback.

AssessOnline offers these features:

• Administrative reporting offers global and individual teacher data.
• Assessment data helps you select the best professional development for your teachers and then quantify their learning gains.
• Assessment adapts to the individual skill level of each user, maximizing accuracy and slashing test time.
• Adaptive structure ensures that each user takes a unique, tailored assessment.
• Consists of a core assessment measuring technology knowledge and classroom integration skills, supplemented by application-specific modules.
• Wide variety of question types --simulated software use, classroom scenarios, hotspots, sequencing, multiple choice, etc.
• Assessment items align with ISTE National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Teachers.
• Post-assessment includes portfolio performance assessment.
• Works easily on your browser with no special software requirements -- reports are instantly generated and accessed via the Web.
• Password protected, with multiple levels of administrative access.

Planning Workshop

Planning insures your district technology roadmap is a success. A completed district/school five-year instructional technology plan serves as a roadmap for technology and often provides the basis for grants and other funding opportunities. The Teacher Universe planning workshop focuses on the instructional aspect of technology and how it can impact students in a positive way. Participants learn that implementation has to be very balanced between infrastructure planning and implementation, technical support and staff development.
