We believe standards-based learning improves student achievement, so we created a grade book program called TeacherEase to effectively implement Standards-based Education. TeacherEase allows teachers to assess students on multiple standards, enter achievement levels per standard, and generate customizable report cards. It also provides a parent and student portal for viewing progress and trends by standard along with assignment details. While most student information systems now include standards-based grading, TeacherEase was designed to enable more teacher-friendly data entry and management aligned with onsite grading systems.

with the design of the grading system
developed onsite to enable teacher-
friendly data entry and data management.
