"Fox Chapel Area SD has found the new 4Sight Benchmark Assessment Item Analysis Report available on EdInsight to be very valuable. Our teachers are currently using it to set goals related to attainment of the PA Academic Standards/Assessment Anchors and preparation for the PSSA for our students. Item analysis data is used at the department, grade, class and individual student levels to target our interventions to areas of relative weakness indicated by the data.
Ongoing assessment, including additional benchmark assessments, diagnostic assessments and formative classroom assessments, enable us to monitor attainment of the goals, and to adjust them or set new goals accordingly. Since the Item Analysis Report gets down to the Eligible Content level, it is easy to focus our efforts in a way that will improve outcomes for our students."

"In my math classes last year, using Edinsight, I was able quickly determine that several of my students were in the wrong class based on their abilities. Within the first week of school I was able to have the students moved to the correct class that matched their ability. Having access to the student data makes me a more effective and efficient teacher."

"Public schools are charged with the responsibility of providing high quality education for all students. In my many years in education, I have been searching for a technology solution for Riverview School District that truly allows teachers to make educational decisions, and differentiate instruction.
EdInsight is the first solution I have found that allows a teacher to access data from multiple databases through one login. With just a click in a web browser, they have this information. A teacher's time can now be used to differentiate instruction, rather than wasted on collection and analysis."

"Edinsight enables me to effectively communicate with parents. I can quickly access student data while I am talking on the phone to a parent about what we can do to help their child improve. With EdInsight, I can quickly and easily access student data in one location, allowing me to concentrate on helping the student."

"EdInsight gives teachers the opportunity to see each student as an individual and look at specific needs for each student. As far as a principal is concerned, it puts all of the information on a student in one package, so we can research the student's difficulties and relay that information to parents. Teachers in our building have used it to research students and adjust teaching strategies, and used it to confirm areas of strengths and weaknesses. It is a powerful package and only has room to grow."

"As an IST teacher, I am charged with assisting students who are in danger of being placed in a learning support program. I develop special interventions, lessons, resources, etc. and then work with these children and their teachers to help them become successful in the classroom.
We try to work with children that are close to being identified as learning disabled and prevent that from happening. Having the necessary data to determine what students are in need of additional instruction is absolutely essential to that process. "

"Shaler Area is hiring over 45 new teachers. Classroom management is a very difficult skill for new teachers to develop. Our goal is to add techniques and best practices around classroom management to the Edinsight resources to aid the new teachers. A key component of our teacher induction program this school year will be training teachers in the use of the Edinsight system."
